Bbbeen going lately

Gm Just imagine seeing that
Dmstupid shirt

Bb (Spoken)
N.C.
You have proven to be more of a maze
Than construction season in
the Heritage Hill one-ways
For someone who's not from
Grand Rapids on their very first days
But me, I paid attention on
my late night skates
N.C.
And when I was driving
around in my van and how my
best friend,
Who lived here his whole life,
Told me I know the city
better than him
He said "Ty, it's like the
back of your hand."
N.C.
I said "Alec, I'd trade it
in a heartbeat for the backbone
of a man."
I had to change my way home
from work cause I couldn't
even stand to
Drive by her, and see her
on her front lawn, with her
bikini on getting a tan
Cause, here's the thing
N.C.
I don't need Fountain or
Union Street
For anything except
Martha's Vineyard and the
bakery so
I'll just take the back of
Michigan Hill down
East, turn around and
follow Lion all the way there
cause this is what I found
N.C.
Life, may or may not be
about finding true love
But, it's certainly not
about begging for it from
someone so
I'll keep doing the things
that I do
Late nights, fat blunts,
pizza pies with my crew
N.C.
Driving home from whatever
bar's half-off after two
While I'm blasting my
favorite tunes and
Seeing my favorite local
bands at whatever venues
While you keep doing the
things that you do, shifting
blame, and twisting truth
N.C.
And making absolutely
positively sure that everybody
in the room is certain
That the victim just had to be you, well
[Outro]
Gm Dm Bb I'll keep doing the things that I do
Gm Dm Bb And I'll find someone who
Gm Dm Bbwants me like I wanted you
Bb So sing along at a show
Gm Dm Bbthis weekend
Bb Act a fool, get drunk
Bb Gm Dm Bbwith these friends, that you love
Bb Someone somewhere said all
Gm Dm Bbgood things end
Bb So what in my mind made
me think this time would
Gm Dm Bbbe different
