[Intro]
Bm
[Verse 1]
Bm F#m
It's nothing that you did, you gotta understand
G A D
You're taking it too fast, it's going way too fast
Bm G
It's nothing that you did, it's not the color of your skin
D A
The one thing you should know, you gotta take it slow
G A Bm
What they call the shifting of the sands I see as your demands
G
When you change you can't ignore
D
What things are and were before
[Chorus 1]
G A D
My family has been here for generations
G A D
And now I have two children of my own
C Bm C Bm
And I knew that I would stay here, always knew I'd stay here
A
It's not a new world that you found
G
It's just a little town
[Verse 2]
Bm F#m
Everybody knows who was born and raised here
G A D
The mayor is my friend, I've known him all my life
Bm G
Each year he and I plan the Fourth of July
D A
So why'd he ask you too? You, especially you?
G A Bm
He said this town, for all its pride, it's been dying from inside
G
And we've got to find our way
D
We'll start with Independence Day
[Chorus 2]
G A D
And as the fireworks came up above the mountain
G A Bm
I saw you put your hand up to your heart
C Bm C Bm
And I saw the mayor watching, knew my kids were watching
A
Hope that I would come around
G
Big parade, little town
[Bridge]
G A Bm F#m
Now the months come after months and every Fourth of July
G A Bm F#m
We help our children putting all the flags on the line
G A Bm F#m
Up and down the Main Street, every country that we're from
C Bm
Like the mayor always wanted
C Bm A
He's been gone for seven years now
[Verse 3]
D Bm F#m
It's quiet by the lake, walking with our dogs
G A D
How long has it been, oh it's been a long time now
Bm G
We talk about this town, you're the mayor of it now
D A
They're all moving here, everyone comes here
G A
We like to say we don't get out that much
Bm
'Cause the whole world comes to us
G D
We can't blame them now, we say, we are just a little great
G A
And you know that I'm not proud
Bm
Those things I dared to say out loud
G D
But you wave it all away, my friend, you wave it all away
[Chorus 3]
G A D
But my kids, they went off in all directions
G A Bm
And I know it's thanks to you they have returned
C Bm C Bm
They have all this understanding, all this understanding
A
They have been the world around
G
And they came back to our little town
[Outro]
Bm F#m
G A D
