[Intro]
G
[Verse]
G                        C 
They say life is so much sweeter 
G                             D 
through the telephoto lens of fame 
G                                C 
around here you get just as much attention 
G               D                    G 
cheerin' at the high school football game  
G                     C 
I dreamed of going to Nashville 
G                               D 
Put my money down and placed my bet 
G                                    C 
But I just got the first buck of the season 
G                            D          G 
I made the front page of the Turnertown Gazette
[Chorus]
      C                                       Em           G 
Every last one, route one, rural hearts got a story to tell 
         C 
Every grandma, in law, ex girlfriend 
          G                      A 
Maybe knows us just a little too well 
               C 
Whether you're late for church or you're stuck in jail 
    G               C 
Hey words gonna get around 
G              D           G 
Everybody dies famous in a small town
[Verse]
G                  C 
Tyler and Casey broke up 
G                    D 
It ended pretty quietly 
G                                           C 
We heard he was caught red-handed with her mama 
G                            D         G 
That's just what they let us all believe
[Chorus]
      C                                       Em           G 
Every last one, route one, rural hearts got a story to tell 
         C 
Every grandma, in law, ex girlfriend 
          G                      A 
Maybe knows us just a little too well 
               C 
Whether you're late for church or you're stuck in jail 
    G               C 
Hey words gonna get around 
G              D           G 
Everybody dies famous in a small town
[Bridge]
     C               G 
Baby who needs their faces in a magazine 
       C              D 
Me and you we've been stars of the town since we were 17 
G                         C 
Let's go on down to the quick stop 
G 
Wear your yellow shades 
                          D 
And I'll put on my tight jeans 
G                                         C 
And we'll just spend the weekend burnin' rubber 
G                             D           G 
And we'll let em point and stare in disbelief
[Chorus]
      C                                       Em           G 
Every last one, route one, rural hearts got a story to tell 
         C 
Every grandma, in law, ex girlfriend 
          G                      A 
Maybe knows us just a little too well 
               C 
Whether you're late for church or you're stuck in jail 
    G               C 
Hey words gonna get around 
G              D           G 
Everybody dies famous in a small town
