....
[Verse 1]
Asus2 E
New Years at the Chanticleer and I just signed my record deal
Asus2 E
Someone's singing karaoke, just a Townie playing make-believe
G D A E
..There you were, spinning 'round in your cardboard crown
A
You said, "Congrats, you made it out," but
[Chrous]
E
Don't forget about your town
Asus2
Don't forget where you came from
C#m
'Cause first, you're up then you're down
B Asus2
Come crashing back to Earth and there's no one around.
E
Don't forget about the pain
Asus2
Of being young and forgotten
C#m
And when you're up on that stage
B
At the top of your game
Asus2
Don't forget who taught you to play
E
Don't forget about me
[Verse 2]
Asus2 E
I was just another shy kid on the playground 'til you came around.
Asus2 E
Had big ideas and bigger dreams that no one seemed to give a **** about
G D A E
..There you were, you said, "If you've got a song, well, sing it loud"
A
You told me someday I'd make it out, but
[Chrous]
E
Don't forget about your town
Asus2
Don't forget where you came from
C#m
'Cause first, you're up then you're down
B Asus2
Come crashing back to Earth and there's no one around.
E
Don't forget about the pain
Asus2
Of being young and forgotten
C#m
And when you're up on that stage
B
At the top of your game
Asus2
Don't forget who taught you to play
E
Don't forget about me
Asus2 C#m B Asus2
Don't forget about me, oh.................
[Bridge]
Asus2 E
Found a voicemail that you left me back in 2017
Asus2 E
You said, "I'm sorry you don't call me more, I guess you're just too busy for me"
G D A E
..But they were playing your song in the CVS downtown
A
And I just called to say, "I'm so proud"
[Chorus]
E
I won't forget about my town
Asus2
And I won't forget where I came from
C#m
'Cause I've been up, I've been down
B
Came crashing back to Earth
Asus2
But you're not around
[Outro]
I'm sorry I don't hear from you more
But, I have to tell you I Am loving this new song
It is amazing, I had to introduce it to my entire family
And I just wanna say I'm so proud of you
Keep going, brother
