I was born in a town and i had to get along
G# A# D# G#
i bought the right albums but i dug the wrong songs
G# A# C# G#
i knew from the start that i had to get away
G# A# D#
the streets were getting smaller each and every day
i was bored in a town and i couldn't get along
i really tried to manage but i wasn't that strong
i got on a train that could take me anywhere
at least somewhere that just ain't here
[Chorus]
G# Fm C# G#
But i left Victoria in Smallville (in Smallville)
G# Fm C# C#
i left Victoria in Smallville
[Verse]
I was forced to take a job that i really couldn't stand
but every second week i got some money in my hand
i moved into a flat with Billy and his girl
he was unemployed and she was working for a better world
we started up a band called Flat #8
and wrote six songs about jealousy and hate
G# Fm C# G#
But i left Victoria in Smallville (in Smallville)

And then when winter came i moved out
D# Cm
and all i thought about was you
Fm C#
the way we used to steal cigarettes
D#
holding hands, making love, making bets

I was faced with a choice at a difficult stage
should i play the guitar or should i act my age
so please don't push me cause i'm close to the edge
i'm trying all the time not to lose my head
G# Fm C# C#
i left Victoria in Smallville
i left Victoria in Smallville
and now it all seems so stupid
and now it all seems so stupid
[Chorus]
