It's nice and quiet over

sat around and laughed
E
about the times that past
F#
Same old story in any town
the times they go so fast
[Chorus 1]
G#m
The title to the world just
E
can't replace the smile on
F#
my face When I know that
B F#/A#
I'm coming back home to
G#m
this place People in this
E
town seem so much meaner
F#
It used to be much cleaner
Make sure you know that the
G#m
grass is always greener
