Buy This Town (CHORDS) by Lori Mckenna
[Intro]~
C F C F C
[Verse 1]~
F C
If I could buy this town
F C
I’d keep it small and rough
F C
Full of 3rd shift dreamers
D7
And high school love
C F C
I’d keep the church of Christ
F C
And the bowling alley open
F C
Where the Bud Light signs
D7
Crackle while they’re glowing
F C F C F C
If I should buy,.. buy this town
[Verse 2]~
F C
If I could buy one night
F C
I wouldn’t buy the one you’d think
F C
I’d buy the one where my eyes teared up
D7
By the light above the kitchen sink
C F C
And you held me tight
F C
And you begged me not to cry
F C
If I could buy the sweetness of one kiss
D7
Then that’s the one I’d buy
F C F C F C
If I could buy one night
[Chorus]~
G
All the money in the world
F C
Couldn’t buy a drop of real love,.. could it..?
F C
And it really shouldn’t,.. now,.. should it..?
D7 F C F C F C
If I could buy the stars,.. I’d polish them so bright
[Verse 3]~
F C
If I could buy your pain
F C
First,.. I’d buy the great big sea
F C
And I’d put that pain inside a box
D7
And bury it so deep
C F C
If I could buy you back
F C
The years you worked yourself to death
F C
I would buy and waste your suffering
D7
Until there wasn’t any left
F C F C F C
If I could buy your pain
[Chorus]~
G
All the money in the world
F C
Couldn’t buy a drop of real love,.. could it..?
F C
And it really shouldn’t,.. now,.. should it..?
D7 F C F C F C F C F C
'Cause I’d gladly give you every piece of my whole heart
[Verse 4]~
F C
If I could buy this town
F C
I'd keep the Friday night bleachers
F C
Full of kids falling in love
D7
And unlikely believers
C F C
And the fire-fighters are there
F C
'Cause their kid’s in the game
F C
And we don’t win too often
D7
But that ain’t why we came
F C F C F C F C F C F C F C
