This Town Chords & Lyrics - Emery

[VERSE 1]
I found my f[Gm]ear in the ashes of this t[F]own as it burned
When the sm[Gm]oke entered my lungs, I suffoc[F]ated on lessons I learned
Made it [Gm]out of the fire, ran aw[F]ay just in time

(My home, this place will never change. I know what's best. I just can't stay)
Tried to k[Gm]ill my desire, tried to h[F]old me here all of my life

(All these memories won't be erased, but it's time to make my own way)
S[Gm]uddenly I saw everything that I never could have done with y[F]ou here

[CHORUS]
D[Eb]on't turn around now there's no road back h[Gm]ome
(No fear to hold you back, just s[F]ay you want it, say you want it more)
The br[Eb]idges all burned down, everything you kn[Gm]ow is l[F]ost
Nobody [Cm]ever leaves

But this town won't take the best of me

[VERSE 2]
You dr[Gm]eam about (every hope) hidden away (but just below)
The s[Dm]urface of your skin, so c[F]oarse but oh so thin
You're t[Gm]errified (of letting go)

Nothing is reaped until it's sown
No t[Dm]ime to give in this [F]one life we live
M[Eb]oving forward [F]is not failing

[CHORUS]
D[Eb]on't turn around now there's no road back h[Gm]ome
(No fear to hold you back, just s[F]ay you want it, say you want it more)
The br[Eb]idges all burned down, everything you kn[Gm]ow is l[F]ost
Nobody [Cm]ever leaves

But this town won't take the best of me

[INSTRUMENTAL]
[Eb]////// ////// [Bb]////// [Dm]//////

[BRIDGE]
When you f[Eb]eel your heart pumping in your chest
And [Bb]ignites the spark that you've [Dm]always felt
Do you tr[Eb]ust yourself? Don't push those thoughts awa[Bb]y [Dm] [F]
Can you f[Eb]eel the life flowing through your veins?
It n[Bb]ever mattered what the v[Dm]oices [F]say
L[Eb]ife's not about how you f[Gm]all
(It's ab[G]out how many times you can get [Ab]up)
You made it this far with the c[Bb]ourage you had
You carried the weight of it [Ab]all
Every dead end just beg[Bb]ins a new path
Oh, the places we'll g[Ab]o [Cm]
