* = strum once
[Verse]
A
In a steel town
D A
It’s all fun and games ‘til graduation
D F#m
When you work 51 or take one for vacation
D *
In a beach town
A
In a steel town
D A
That shift you work is what the world revolves round
D F#m
When that whistle winds its almost time to wind down

Over a cold round
[Chorus]
A E
In a steel town you learn how
D
to bend and not break
A E
How to hang in, how to cut loose
D
How to find a way
F#m D
How to start with nothing, build it from the ground
F#m D
Everything that matters most I learned about

In a steel town

In a meltdown
[Chorus]
A E D
In a steel town
A E D
In a steel town
F#m D
How to start with nothing, build it from the ground

You can leave, but your heart will hang around

Yeah in a steel town
A E D
In a steel town
A E D
