This Town

            Gm                        F
I found my fear in the ashes of this town as it burned
           Gm                            F
When the smoke entered my lungs, I suffocated on lessons I learned
        Gm                     F
Made it out of the fire, ran away just in time

(My home, this place will never change. I know what's best. I just can't stay)
          Gm                       F
Tried to kill my desire, tried to hold me here all of my life

(All these memories won't be erased, but it's time to make my own way)
 Gm                                                          F
Suddenly I saw everything that I never could have done with you here

[Chorus]
 Eb                                         Gm
Don't turn around now there's no road back home
                                 F
(No fear to hold you back, just say you want it, say you want it more)
      Eb                                      Gm     F
The bridges all burned down, everything you know is lost
       Cm
Nobody ever leaves

But this town won't take the best of me

[Verse 2]
      Gm
You dream about (every hope) hidden away (but just below)
     Dm                       F
The surface of your skin, so coarse but oh so thin
        Gm
You're terrified (of letting go)

Nothing is reaped until it's sown
    Dm                  F
No time to give in this one life we live
 Eb            F
Moving forward is not failing

[Chorus]
 Eb                                         Gm
Don't turn around now there's no road back home
                                 F
(No fear to hold you back, just say you want it, say you want it more)
      Eb                                      Gm     F
The bridges all burned down, everything you know is lost
       Cm
Nobody ever leaves

But this town won't take the best of me

[Bridge]
          Eb
When you feel your heart pumping in your chest
    Bb                            Dm
And ignites the spark that you've always felt
         Eb                                         Bb Dm F
Do you trust yourself? Don't push those thoughts away
         Eb
Can you feel the life flowing through your veins?
    Bb                      Dm    F
It never mattered what the voices say
 Eb                       Gm
Life's not about how you fall
        G                              Ab
(It's about how many times you can get up)
                               Bb
You made it this far with the courage you had
                             Ab
You carried the weight of it all
                       Bb
Every dead end just begins a new path
                      Ab Cm
Oh, the places we'll go
