Verse 

      B         C#         E           B 
I was born in a town and i had to get along

i bought the right albums but i dug the wrong songs 
  B             C#           E           B 
i knew from the start that i had to get away 
    B                    C#      F# 
the streets were getting smaller each and every day 

i was bored in a town and i couldn't get along 
i really tried to manage but i wasn't that strong 
i got on a train that could take me anywhere 
at least somewhere that just ain't here

But i left Victoria in Smallville (in Smallville)

Verse 

I was forced to take a job that i really couldn't stand 
but every second week i got some money in my hand 
i moved into a flat with Billy and his girl 
he was unemployed and she was working for a better world 
we started up a band called Flat #8 
and wrote six songs about jealousy and hate 


      B       G#m      E              B 
But i left Victoria in Smallville (in Smallville)

Bridge 

Ebm           G#m                 E 
And then when winter came i moved out 
          F#                Ebm 
and all i thought about was you 
           G#m               E 
the way we used to steal cigarettes 
                                   F# 
holding hands, making love, making bets 




Verse 

I was faced with a choice at a difficult stage 
should i play the guitar or should i act my age 
so please don't push me cause i'm close to the edge 
i'm trying all the time not to lose my head
