So, tell me, what's going on in Graniteville
F#
Catch a whole town underneath a sleeping pill
C#m
It's a quiet little city that grew up together
Fb
with your picture looking out your grandmother's window
Cb
There's a black train rolling through the middle of the night
F#
Finds us here, well there's nowhere to hide
C#m
If we ever wake up in Graniteville
Fb
Oh, you know how much I love you and I always will

Trying so hard just to get away
G#m
some people want to die in a quiet place
Fb Cb
where everybody's always watching, watching the trains roll by
Cb
Yeah, you have a place to go when it's never enough
G#m
Little hard to pay the toll, train's in a rush
Fb Cb
out of town, it's always leaving, waving the girl goodbye, goodbye
F#
Yeah, but every town is small when it comes to you
G#m
Just like everyone's asleep when it's passing through
Fb Cb
All night I heard the scream of a million tongues
Cb (held)
So wake up, pretty baby, turn the light on
G#m (held)
tonight there's something different, something gone wrong
Fb Cb
We've been sleeping too long, so long
Cb
So, tell me, what's going on in Graniteville
