………….
[Verse 1]
A
Yeah I’m just here for the weekend
C#m
In the place I grew up in
Bm
A whole lot’s changed in this town
E
But one thing ain’t changed a bit
A
You can turn the barber shop into a parking lot
C#m
And take down that dollar store
Bm E
But please don’t take what I came back for
A
That bar can keep our first kiss
C#m
That tree can keep our rope swing
B
The one we carved our names in
E
Summer 2013
A
That truck can keep our good years
C#m
Those memories they can stay right there
Bm
Tell this small town to keep
E
Everything we had
A
Just gimme the girl back
C#m
Gimme the girl back
Bm
Gimme the girl back
E
(Oh oh)
[Verse 2]
A
If this john boat was a time machine
C#m
Yeah you know where’d I’d go
Bm
I’d push that two stroke off the dock
E
Back to those days of gold
A
Back to where it started
C#m
At that dirt patch party
Bm E
Back before the day I let her get away
[Chorus]
A
That bar can keep our first kiss
C#m
That tree can keep our rope swing
B
The one we carved our names in
E
Summer 2013
A
That truck can keep our good years
C#m
Those memories they can stay right there
Bm
Tell this small town to keep
E
Everything we had
A
Just gimme the girl back
C#m
Gimme the girl back
Bm
Gimme the girl back
E
(Oh oh)
[Bridge]
A C#m Bm
(Mm I just want my girl back)
E
(I just want my girl)
