ain’t what it used to be

capo : 2nd fret

intro : G Am C G ( 2x )

G Am
that backward town , in my rearview
C G
was gonna be my whole world
G Am
til my factory job , got shipped to mexico
C G
and a city boy stole my sweet girl

G Am
i used to know everybody by name
C G
everybody’s moved away
G Am
can’t say that i’m really wantin’ to go
C G
but i’ve run out of reasons to stay

( chorus )
G D Am C
this ain’t nothin’ like what i ,
Am D G
had in mind for me
G D Am C
then again my future ,
Am D G
ain’t what it used to be

G Am
well i thought like my dad , and his Daddy before
C G
that i would die where i was born
G Am
live a smalltown dream in a big backyard
C G
raisin’ babies and corn

G Am
now here i Am , one eye on the road
C G
tryin’ to read the map on the dash
G Am
nowhere close to making up my mind
C G
with a fork in the road comin’ fast

( chorus 2x )

G ( one strum ) Am ( one strum )
that backward town , in my rear view
( pick ) C D G
was gonna be my whole world

outro : G Am C G ( play to fade )
