Intro: G Bm A (2x)
verse 1
G
I know all the ghosts that walk these streets
G
People die, babies cry, and never leave
A G
No one wants these gravel roads to end
G
There's a train every 2: 15
Bm
That always was and always gonna be
A
Daughters to mothers,
Daughters to mothers,
G
Daughters to mothers, again
D G D
It's so hard to leave my hometown world
D G D
I try to be a hometown girl
D
But in a car
A G
in the high school parking lot,
I know I'm not. 
verse 2
G Bm
In the crowd on graduation day
G Bm
You can see the ones that wish they got away
A G
One on the hip, one on the way
G Bm
But way back here is branded on my heart
G Bm
I wish so bad I could play the part
A G
It's where I am in my glory days
D G D
It's so hard to leave my hometown world
D G D
I try to be a hometown girl
D
But in a car
A G
in the high school parking lot,
I know I'm not.

It's holding on to me and all my doubts
G
Now it's when I stay or I get out
A G
There's a train every 2: 15

It's so hard to leave my hometown world

I try to be a hometown girl

But in a car

I'm not.
