This song is from the album Montevallo(2014), released on 27 October 2014.
I always love the way that Sam sings the verses. It feels like he is talking and then suddenly a tune comes in. I love that style. The way that the production of this song is done is also really interesting. The guitars and the drums felt really large and powerful.

Scale: Ab Major Time Signature: 4/4 Tempo: 69 Suggested Strumming: DU,DU,DU,DU [INTRO] Fm [VERSE] Ab I knew I'd see her around Ab Fm I'd be at some party, she'd show up and I'd be walking out Fm Eb Or across some parking lot hiding behind her sister Ab I'd look up, she'd be at the red light beside me Ab In that white Maxima with the sticker on the back Ab I'd act like I didn't see her Fm We'd pay at the same pumps Fm Flip through the same stations Fm And slow down for the same curves C# Run around with the same crowds C# We just needed some time C# She could get on with her life and I'd get on with mine Ebsus4 Thought I would be fine, heh, but maybe not Ebsus4 I knew she'd find a way to get over me Ebsus4 But I'd never thought that... [CHORUS] Fm C# She would get down with somebody I know Eb I guess that's just how it goes Ab When you break up in a small town Abmaj7 Fm C# I see our friends and they put on a show Eb Like they don't want me to know Ab Abmaj7 So they give me the go-around C# Ab But there's only so many streets, so many lights Eb Ab Abmaj7 Fm I swear it's like I can't even leave my house C# I should've known all along Eb You gotta move or move on Eb When you break up in a small town [VERSE] Ab For a while I guess they were keeping it low-key Ab Fm But now it's like these county lines closing in on me Fm I see 'em everywhere together Fm And it's hitting a little too close to home C# She's so far gone, she just didn't go far C# She was over me before the grass grew back C# Where she used to park her car Eb She's leaving those same marks in someone else's yard Eb In someone else's arms right down the road Eb And I never thought that... [CHORUS] Fm C# She would get down with somebody I know Eb I guess that's just how it goes Ab When you break up in a small town Abmaj7 Fm C# I see our friends and they put on a show Eb Like they don't want me to know Ab Abmaj7 So they give me the go-around C# Ab But there's only so many streets, so many lights Eb Ab Abmaj7 Fm I swear it's like I can't even leave my house C# I should've known all along Eb You gotta move or move on Eb When you break up in a small town [INSTRUMENTAL] Fm C# Eb Ab Abmaj7 x2 [BRIDGE] Fm Your mailbox is seven minutes from mine C# Eb Ab And I drive into town sometimes I see you sittin' there with him Abmaj7 And I wanna jump out Fm I wanna fight Fm C# I wanna say, "... that guy!" but I can't Eb It's my fault, I let her go Ab Abmaj7 I never thought that... [CHORUS] Fm C# She would get down with somebody I know Eb I guess that's just how it goes Ab When you break up in a small town Abmaj7 Fm C# I see our friends and they put on a show Eb Like they don't want me to know Ab Abmaj7 So they give me the go-around C# Ab But there's only so many streets, so many lights Eb Ab Abmaj7 Fm I swear it's like I can't even leave my house C# I should've known all along Eb You gotta move or move on Eb When you break up in a small town
