Clean Slate Chords & Lyrics - Read Southall Band

[INTRO]
[Em] [C] [G] [Em] [C] [G]

[VERSE]

Every co[Em]rner in this t[C]own I pass b[G]y
Remi[Em]nds me of the thi[C]ngs I didn't do ri[G]ght
And the str[Em]eet lamps, well they sh[C]ine down so br[G]ight
Like a run[Em]way headed fo[C]r a brand new li[G]fe
In this new[Em] place I bet the[C]y don't know her na[G]me
It still ta[Em]kes my breath to h[C]ear her new fl[G]ame
And this ne[Em]w zip code I won't [C]make a grapevine c[G]ut
How my ha[Em]ir's too long or that[C] I drink too mu[G]ch

[CHORUS]

'Cause I want out of this s[Em]mall town
Start a br[C]and new clean sla[G]te
Instead of tr[Em]yin' to find an empty s[D/F#]pot of mind
Scr[C]atch on another mistak[G]e
It's been l[Em]ots of me[C]mories I can't live do[G]wn
I th[Em]ink it's time for m[D/F#]e to move arou[C]nd
I want out of this sm[Em]all town [C] [G] [Em] [C] [G]

[VERSE]

I reckon I'll he[Em]ad out quick 'c[C]ause I won't look ba[G]ck
Find a de[Em]ad end job just to p[C]ay for my little shac[G]k
Maybe Lubb[Em]ock, Stillw[C]ater, OKC[G]
It d[Em]on't make a da[C]mn but of differenc[G]e to me

[CHORUS]

'Cause I want out of this sm[Em]all town
Start a br[C]and new clean slate[G]
Instead of try[Em]in' to find an empty [D/F#]spot of mind
Scr[C]atch on another mistake[G]
It's been l[Em]ots of mem[C]ories I can't live dow[G]n
I t[Em]hink it's time for[D/F#] me to move aroun[C]d

[INSTRUMENTAL]

[BRIDGE]

M[C]aybe I'm leavin' f[D/F#]or the wrong reasons,[Em] I ne[D/F#]ed a chan[C]ge
D[Em]on't you dare st[D/F#]and in my w[C]ay

[CHORUS]

'Cause I want out of this s[Em]mall town
Start a br[C]and new clean slat[G]e
Instead of tr[Em]yin' to find an empty s[D/F#]pot of mind
Scr[C]atch on another mistake
It's been lo[Em]ts of memo[C]ries I can't live d[G]own
I th[Em]ink it's time for [D/F#]me to move ar[C]ound

I want out of this small town
