Please escuse the vulgar misinterpretations of the lyrics:


F#5
Yeah, I've been standing up
E5
I've been breaking free
F#5 E5 B5
I don't want fate handed down to me
F#5
Yeah, I've been moving on
E5
Try another town
F#5
Times ain't changin' nothing
E5 B5
Take a look around

D5 A5 G5
I'm lost in a one story town
D5 A5 G5
Where everything's close to the ground
G5 A5
Yeah, same shit goes down
G5 A5
Nothing turns around
G5 A5 B5
It's a one story town


She was over seventeen when I held her to her word
Had to push her luck
Thought she couldn't breathe
No it didn't hurt me when she had to leave
She had a far away feeling
Wasn't part of me

I'm lost in a one story town
Where everything's close to the ground
Yeah, same shit goes down
Nothing turns around
It's a one story town

Instrumental: A5, A5, A5....B5

Yeah, I'm lost in a one story town
Where everything's close to the ground
Yeah, same shit goes down
Nothing turns around
It's a one story town

Ending: B5


Those high guitar parts for the chorus are:

X Y

E -----17--14---------|-5h7p5----------8h10p8-|
B -15----------15-----|-----------------------|
G -----------------16-|-----------------------|
D --------------------|-----------------------|
A --------------------|-----------------------|
E --------------------|-----------------------|


-X- is played sometimes during the first half of the chorus and -Y- is played
after that part where Petty sings -same shit goes down-.

I hope this has been help towards you.

A -10--12--
