         G                                
I'm only seventeen, but I want much more 
       Em
Than a small town girl should bargain for
          G    
More than standing in one place, 
                           Em
Waiting for the next James Dean.
            G
I live in a town that's gripped in the Bible belt, 
       Em                
Man, I bared my back and I took the welts 
       G 
I only pray to get out of here
                   Em
Maybe someday I'll find out if the world is green

         C                     G
There is nothing to do in this town at night but 
C                 G
Sit in my car and watch the streetlights
   C                           G
Or stare out the window at the pizza joint 
Em7
What's the point? 
               G      D      C
I wish I could buy my ford a sail
                           G
Hey, hey, look at the wind blow

        G                         
Now the life of the local beauty queen 
   Em                                     
Is tied to the captain of the baseball team
           G                                              
They got a baby on the way 
                                  Em
At least that's what the kids are saying 
        G                    
And the wedding I'm told, well it must take place
   Em
To save both families from disgrace 
        G
But the whole town knows, you see, 
                        Em
It ain't like she's not showing...

         C                     G
There is nothing to do in this town at night but 
C                 G
Sit in my car and watch the streetlights
   C                           G
Or stare out the window at the pizza joint 
Em7
What's the point? 
               G      D      C
I wish I could buy my ford a sail
                           G
Hey, hey, look at the wind blow

G                                      
Tommy bates sits in his car and he waits 
        Cmaj7
For his girl down at lucky's diner
               G
They're at the end of the loop and he's drinking soup 
          Cmaj7
While she puts on more eyeliner
  G
I passed them once, and I'll pass them twice, 
         Cmaj7
And I'll pass them back again 
               G
They bought an old range rover from the next town over
          Cmaj7
And their headlights are my friends, 
            Em7               D
Yeah, those headlights are my friends...

         C                     G
There is nothing to do in this town at night but 
C                 G
Sit in my car and watch the streetlights
   C                           G
Or stare out the window at the pizza joint 
Em7
What's the point? 
               G      D      C
I wish I could buy my ford a sail
                           G
Hey, hey, look at the wind blow

G    Em    G    Em...

Hey, look at the wind blow...
Hey, look at the wind blow...
