              (Verse) 
  G           A                 D 
I always knew that I liked this place 
                  G              A                D  
You don't have to look too far to find a friendly face 
G                    A               D 
I feel alive when I'm walking on the street 
           G                         A              D 
I feel the heart of the city pounding underneath my feet 
 
             G                    A 
Yeah, let the world keep spinning round and round 
D                         G   G/F#  Em  D 
This is where it all goes down down down 
G            A         D 
That's why I love this town 
       G          A      D 
That's why I keep coming around 
    G                 A 
Say hey (say hey) say yeah (say yeah) 
    D                    G      G/F#  Em  D         
You make me feel at home somehow right now 
          G  A         D 
That's why I love this town 
 
(Verse) 
           G 
I got some good friends here 
  A                            D 
I might have broken a heart or two 
             G 
It's getting loud over there 
A                    D 
Boys must have had a few 
              G 
And there's a cop on the corner 
         A           D   Bm 
He knows everybody's names 
      G                        A                    D 
And a kid with a dream singing for some spare loose change 
 
             G                    A 
Yeah, let the world keep spinning round and round 
D                         G   G/F#  Em  D 
This is where it all goes down down down 
G            A         D 
That's why I love this town 
       G          A      D 
That's why I keep coming around 
    G                 A 
Say hey (say hey) say yeah (say yeah) 
    D                    G      G/F#  Em  D         
You make me feel at home somehow right now 
          G  A         D 
That's why I love this town

(Bridge) 
A 
They're shouting from the rooftops 
Dancing on the bars 
Hangin' out the window 
Driving in their famous cars 
You want it, you got it 
You're ready, I'm on it 
Come on now 
Here we go again 
 
(Chorus) 
           G A         D 
 
 
That's why I love this town 
           G A         D 
That's why I love this town 
          G 
No matter where you are from 
               A     
Tonight you're from right here 
D                         G    G/F#  Em  D 
This is where it all goes down, down down 
          G  A         D 
That's why I love this town 
    G                A  
Say hey (say hey) say yeah (say yeah) 
  D 
I love this town 
   G                A  
Say hey (say hey) say yeah (say yeah) 
  D    D/C# Bm  A   
I love this town 
 
 
    G                A  
Say hey (say hey) say yeah (say yeah) 
  D 
I love this town 
 
    G                A  
Say hey (say hey) say yeah (say yeah) 
  D               
I love...this town
