[Verse 1]
D
I can see her in that water
A
Church dress hung up in a tree
Bm                     A           G
Laughin splashin flirtin, teasin' me
D
That afternoon of secrets
       A
Swimming naked in a pool of dreams
Bm
Last high school summer dripping
A                   G
dry by Sycamore Creek

[Pre-Chorus]
E
She kissed me one last time
       A
Headin' home
              E
And I'm still haunted by what she said
         A
When I'm alone

[Chorus]
              D
She said you got a chance to be
A
Free of all this small town strings
Bm
That tie the rest of us down
G
She said boy quit your hanging around
D
Take that guitar and run
A
Faster than the setting sun
Bm                               A
You can write a song later about my
G
memory
E
You can always come back
                           A
You can always come back
                    D
To Sycamore Creek

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
D
Well the guitar made the magic
A
And I just hung on for the ride
Bm                       A
I walked amongst giants played
                         G
with legends side by side
D
She came to see me in New Orleans
A
And on a tour bus after the show
Bm                      A
I kissed goodbye to the one I never
G
shoulda let go

[Chorus]
D
She said you got a chance to be
A
So wild on those guitar strings
Bm
Stage lights in every town
G
So head up when you're hanging around
D
Take that guitar and run
A
Faster than the setting sun
Bm                               A
You can write a song later about my
G
memory
E
You can always come back
                     A
You can always come back
            G
To Sycamore Creek

[Verse 3]
D
Well I knew she'd gotten married.
A
And I always forget the guy's name
Bm                           A
But he played tight end the year
             G
that we won district
D
It got bad and it got ugly
A
Through tears one night she called
Bm                         A
I drove ten hours to the water
G
I couldn't resist it

[Chorus]
D
I said girl you got a chance to be
A
Free of all these small town strings
Bm
Cut the ties that keep you down
G
I said girl quit your hanging around
D
Take this money and run
A
Faster than the setting sun
Bm                                   A
She soaked my shirt crying over
G
memories
E
She said don't ever come back
                  A
No never come back
D
To Sycamore Creek
