[Verse 1]
G CThere is concrete below me and a sky above so blue
F GI’m finally leaving Austin and I wish it was with you
G CI Am just a sickness and you seem to be the cure
F GHow much can a southern girl honestly endure?
G CRemember northwest mountains, they were snow-capped in June
F GYou were napping on my arms on a Sunday afternoon
G CBut babe, I’ve gotta heal myself from the things I’ve never felt
F GRepression is my heaven but I’d rather Go through hell
[Chorus]
CmIt’s ’bout time that I left Austin
F‘Bout time you settled down
GWith a man who doesn’t move as quick
CAs the trains rolling through town
Cm‘Bout time that I face
FThe hard times I’ve let go
GIf love was just an ocean
CI would drown before I float
[Interlude]
Cm F G C……………..

[Verse 2]
G CYou remember getting drunk on the outskirts of this town
F GWhen I gave you all I had but it still let you down
G CEveryone I ever loved has either left or died
F GWish I was born with concrete shoes but I’m leaving tonight
[Chorus]
CmIt’s ’bout time that I left Austin
F‘Bout time you settled down
GWith a man who doesn’t move as quick
CAs the trains rolling through town
Cm‘Bout time that I face
FThe hard times I’ve let go
GIf love was just an ocean
CI would drown before I float
[Post-Chorus]
Cm F G CFloat………….
Cm F G CFloat………….
[Bridge]
G CThere’s concrete below me and a sky above so blue
F GPeople ruin people, I don’t wanna ruin you
G CI Am just a sickness and you seem to be the cure
F GHow much can a southern girl honestly endure?
[Chorus]
CmAnd I’m finally gone from Austin
FYou finally settled down
GWith a man who didn’t move as quick
CAs the trains rolled through town
CmI finally had to face
FThe hard times I’ve let go
GIf loving you was an ocean
CI’d of drowned so you cold float
