INTRO:
C  G F
C  G F

VERSE:
C
I swear I don't know how I trusted
F
A Montero with the AC busted
   C                            G
A couple bad demos on a burned CD
       F
Would take me all the way to Tennessee

C
I showed up to the new apartment
 F
First month's, last month's, two deposits
 C                                     G
Hadn't heard the sound of a door slam yet
       F
Thank God I was an optimist


CHORUS:
         C
I drove circles around this town
            F
Tryna ride circles around this town
 G
Tryna say something with meanin'
                 F
Somethin' worth singin' about

           C
I've been kind and I've been ruthless
         F
Yeah, I got here but the truth is
 G
Thought when I'd hit it, it'd all look different
    F
But I still got the pedal down

         C                          F
Drivin' circles around this tow-ow-own


VERSE:
C                              G
So many times I thought about leaving
 F
Got my ass kicked tryin' to compete with
 C
Everybody else is ones that got away
        F
Hung around long enough to catch a break

 C
Couple hundred songs and the ones that finally worked
         F
Was the one about a car and the one about a church
N.C.
That I wrote


CHORUS:
         C
Drivin' circles around this town
            F
Tryna ride circles around this town
 G
Tryna say something with meanin'
                 F
Somethin' worth singin' about

           C
I've been kind and I've been ruthless
         F
Yeah, I got here but the truth is
 G
Thought when I'd hit it, it'd all look different
    F
But I still got the pedal down

         C                          F
Drivin' circles around this tow-ow-own
         G                          F
Drivin' circles around this tow-ow-own

Hey !

CHORUS:
         C

Tryna ride circles around this town

Yeah, I got here but the truth is
 G
Thought when I'd hit it, it'd all look different
    F
But I still got the pedal down

            N.C.
I still get lost, I still get found
         C                   C  G   F
Drivin' circles around this tow-ow-own
C        G F  C
Ah, yeah
