Verse 1)
D
I can see her in that water
A
Church dress hung up in a tree
B                          A.                   G           
Splashing flirtin' laughin', teasin' me
D
That afternoon of secrets
A
Swimming naked in a pool of dreams
B
Last high school summer dripping 
A.                           G
dry by Sycamore Creek

(Pre-Chorus)
E
She kissed me one last time
A
Headin' home
E
And I'm still haunted by what she said
                A
When I'm alone

(Chorus)
              D
She said you got a chance to be
A
Free of all this small town strings
B
That tie the rest of us down
G
She said boy quit your hanging around
D
Take that guitar and run
A
Faster than the setting sun
B.                                  A
You can write a song later about my 
G
memory
E
You can always come back
                           A
You can always come back
                    D
To Sycamore Creek

(Verse 2)
D
Well the guitar made the magic
A
And I just hung on for the ride
B                                        A
I walked amongst giants played 
                         G
with legends side by side
D
She came to see me in New Orleans
A
And on a tour bus after the show
B.                                     A
I kissed goodbye to the one I never 
G
shoulda let go

(Chorus)
D
She said you got a chance to be
A
So wild on those guitar strings
B
Stage lights in every town
G
So head up when you're hanging around
D
Take that guitar and run
A
Faster than the setting sun
B.                                               A
You can write a song later about my 
G
memory
E
You can always come back
                                  A
You can always come back
           D
To Sycamore Creek

(Verse 3)
D
Well I knew she'd gotten married. 
A
And I always forget the guy's name
B.                                  A
But he played tight end the year 
                     G
that we won district
D
It got bad and it got ugly
A
Through tears one night she called
B.                                     A
I drove ten hours to the water
G
I couldn't resist it

(Chorus)
D
I said girl you got a chance to be
A
Free of all these small town strings
B
Cut the ties that keep you down
G
I said girl quit your hanging around
D
Take this money and run
A
Faster than the setting sun
B.                                  A
She soaked my shirt crying over 
G
memories
E
She said don't ever come back
                  A
No never come back
D
To Sycamore Creek
