Intro: G Cmaj7 x2 Verse: G This is a first rate town But all you ever notice Are the ways itʼs stretched too far Cmaj7 And it has been knocked down But some of us are still Left here between the scars G When you look around All you ever notice is That you can not see the stars Cmaj7 This is a first rate town, a first rate town you know You just canʼt see very far Chorus: G You can never leave G ʼCause theyʼll hold it against me Cmaj7 You can never leave Cmaj7 ʼCause theyʼll hold it against me G You can never leave G ʼCause theyʼll hold it against me Cmaj7 You can never leave Verse: G When the last door closed You packed your clothes And went back to Montreal Cmaj7 Said it was colder there A chill hangs into the air It helps you forget it all Am You left and empty bookshelf That I did not fill till fall Cmaj7 This is a first rate town a first rate town you know You just canʼt see it at all Chorus: G You can never leave G ʼCause theyʼll hold it against me Cmaj7 You can never leave Cmaj7 ʼCause theyʼll hold it against me G You can never leave G ʼCause theyʼll hold it against me Cmaj7 You can never leave Bridge: Em G Cmaj7 Well it will fade as all things must Em G Cmaj7 I loved you but, you didnʼt love me enough Em G Cmaj7 Winter comes, the car will rust Em G Cmaj7 Iʼll start it up, then always run a little rough Verse: G This is a first rate town G And all you ever notice G Are the ways itʼs stretched too far Cmaj7 They keep the death rates down Cmaj7 Itʼs colder than a winter Cmaj7 Spent in defrosting cars Am We talked a lot of leaving Am Didnʼt think youʼd get that far Cmaj7 This is a fiirst rate town a fiirst rate town you know G You just canʼt see very far
