(Intro.)
|(D) / / (A)|(G) / / / | x 2
(Verse)
(D) I swear I don't know how I trusted (G) a Montero with the AC busted
A (D)couple bad demos on a burned C-(A)D would (G)take me all the way to Tennessee
(D) I showed up to the new a-(A)partment, (G)first month's, last month's, two deposits
(D)Hadn't heard the sound of a door slam (A)yet, thank (G)God I was an optimist
(Chorus)
I drove (D)circles around this town, tryna ride (G)circles around this town
(A)Tryna say something with meanin’, somethin' worth (G)singin' about
I've been (D)kind and I've been ruthless, yeah, I (G)got here but the truth is
(A)Thought when I'd hit it, it'd all look different
But (G)I still got the pedal down, drivin' (D)circles around this town (A) (G)
(Verse)
(D) So many times I thought about (A)leaving, (G)got my ass kicked tryin' to compete with
(D)Everybody else is ones that got a-(A)way, hung a-(G)round long enough to catch a break
(D)Couple hundred songs and the ones that finally (A)worked
Was the (G)one about a car and the one about a church, (NC) that I wrote
(Chorus)
Drivin' (D)circles around this town, tryna ride (G)circles around this town
(A)Tryna say something with meanin’, somethin' worth (G)singin' about
I've been (D)kind and I've been ruthless, yeah, I (G)got here but the truth is
(A)Thought when I'd hit it, it'd all look different, but (G)I still got the pedal down
Drivin' (D)circles around this town (G)
Drivin' (A)circles around this town, (G) hey!
(Solo)

(Chorus)
I drove (D)circles around this town, tryna ride (G)circles around this town
(A)Tryna say something with meanin’, somethin' worth (G)singin' about
I've been (D)kind and I've been ruthless, yeah, I (G)got here but the truth is
(A)Thought when I'd hit it, it'd all look different, but (G)I still got the pedal down
(NC) I still get lost, I still get found, drivin' (D)circles around this town (A) (G)
