VERSE
      D                     G     
Well, I want a home on the 
       D
outskirts of town
 G           D          A
Come around sundown to hear the 
sound

 D                           G    
Kids and the crickets under 
   D
pinkish skies
 G       D                A      
Swing on by 'cause we're drinkin'
    D   D
 tonight

      D            G           
Well, in my mind, trees line the 
   D
drive
            G          D       
There's a kind lovin' lady belly 
   A          D
laughin' inside

            D                 
And in the mornin' while we're 
  G        D
drinkin' brew
                  G          D    
She'll say, "The city ain't 
            A              D   D
nothin' like the outskirts with you"


CHORUS:
      G                  D     
With fireflies and some schemin' 
                        A        
eyes we'll turn this house into a 
       G
home
 G                      D      
Then we'll grin in the driveway, 
             A                 Bm
hell your smile outdoes the dawn

 G      D           A             Bm
Hol-old on, hope is on the way-aay
       G            D             
Oh, I swear-ear to God I'll take 
           A             G
you to the outskirts one day

D  G D G D A D  D


VERSE:
      D                     G     
Well, I want a home on the 
       D
outskirts of town
           G           D        
Where the wind chimes sing to the 
   A           D
porch swing crowd

 D                 G         D
June into August, August to May
          G           D        A 
With the sun beatin' down, no 
          D   D
snow in the way

     D                  G         
The smell of fresh-cut grass in 
   D
the yard
         G            D         
I don't care who you are, drink a 
   A                 D
fifth, bring your heart

     D                         G  
You put down a tailgate, I'll put 
        D
down a tune
        G           D             
'Cause out in the 'skirts, we move
      A              D   D
 and shake with the moon


CHORUS:
      G                  D     
With fireflies and some schemin' 
                        A        
eyes we'll turn this house into a 
       G
home
 G                      D      
Then we'll grin in the driveway, 
             A                 Bm
hell your smile outdoes the dawn

 G      D           A   
Hol-old on, hope is on the 
             Bm
way-ay-ay-ay
       G            D             
Oh, I swear-ear to God I'll take 
           A            Bm
you to the outskirts one day

       G            D             
Oh, I swear-ear to God I'll take 
           A            Bm
you to the outskirts one day

eyes we'll turn this house into a 
       G

 G                      D      
Then we'll grin in the driveway, 
             A                 Bm
hell your smile outdoes the dawn

 G      D           A   
Hol-old on, hope is on the 
             Bm
way-ay-ay-ay

       G            D             
Oh, I swear-ear to God we'll make 
           A            Bm
it to the outskirts one day
       G            D             
Oh, I swear-ear to God we'll make 
           A            Bm
it to the outskirts one day
