Am  G  F  G
Am  G  F  G


[Verse 1]
Am                     G        F
   Wipe the footprints off my dash
                        G      Am
Tore up those sun-faded photographs
                                 G         F
Threw 'em in the wind, ya'll can have it back, I'm outta here

Am                             G        F
   I stuck my middle finger up in the sky
                         G           Am
Flipped off that "ya'll come back" sign
                      G        F                   G
Looked in the mirror one last time, and watched it disappear


[Chorus 1]
Am                        G        F
   It ain't nothin' but a rearview town
                   G      Am
Broken hearts and rusted plows
                       G          F
Roots ripped right up out of the ground
       G
Never thought I'd ever leave it

Am                          G        F
   It ain't nothin' what it used to be
            G     Am
Population minus me
                      G         F
On the other side of that dust cloud
       G                    Am    G  F  G
Ain't nothin' but a rearview town


[Verse 2]
Am                           G          F
   I could tough it out but what's the use?
                          G       Am
A place that small, it's hard to do
                    G     F               G                Am
Too much of her to run into, and so much road to somewhere new


[Chorus 2]
                       G        F
It ain't nothin' but a rearview town
                   G      Am
Broken hearts and rusted plows
                       G          F
Roots ripped right up out of the ground
       G
Never thought I'd ever leave it

Am                          G        F
   It ain't nothin' what it used to be
            G     Am
Population minus me
                      G         F
On the other side of that dust cloud
       G                    Am    G  F  G
Ain't nothin' but a rearview town
Am    G  F  G


[Bridge]
Am                        G      F
   It ain't nothin' but a yesterday
                  G          Am
One less truck rollin' down Main
              G        F
Ain't nothin' left to say


[Chorus 3]
Am                              G        F
   No, it ain't nothin' what it used to be
            G     Am
Population minus me
                      G         F
On the other side of that dust cloud
       G                    Am    G  F
Ain't nothin' but a rearview town
                    G       Am    G  F
Ain't nothin' but a rearview town
