I was born in a town and i had to get along
BC#F#B
i bought the right albums but i dug the wrong songs
BC#EB
i knew from the start that i had to get away
BC#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
BG#mEB
But i left Victoria in Smallville (in Smallville)
BG#mEE
i left Victoria 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

But i left Victoria in Smallville (in Smallville)

And then when winter came i moved out
F#Ebm
and all i thought about was you
G#mE
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

and now it all seems so stupid
