[Verse 1]
               F    C
If I could buy this town
            F         C
I’d keep it small and rough
            F     C
Full of 3rd shift dreamers
    D7
And high school love
             C      F  C
I’d keep the church of Christ
        F             C
And the bowling alley open
              F     C
Where the Bud Light signs 
D7
Crackle while they’re glowing
            F             C    F C   F C
If I should buy, buy this town


[Verse 2]
               F   C
If I could buy one night
                   F         C
I wouldn’t buy the one you’d think
            F                        C
I’d buy the one where my eyes teared up
              D7
By the light above the kitchen sink
        C    F  C
And you held me tight
        F                C
And you begged me not to cry
                   F         C
If I could buy the sweetness of one kiss
     D7
Then that’s the one I’d buy
   F               C     F C   F C
If I could buy one night


[Chorus]
G
All the money in the world 
               F                  C
Couldn’t buy a drop of real love, could it?
       F                      C
And it really shouldn’t, now, should it?
   D7                                F              C F C   F C
If I could buy the stars, I’d polish them so bright__


[Verse 3]
               F    C
If I could buy your pain
           F                 C
First, I’d buy the great big sea
                 F      C
And I’d put that pain inside a box
    D7
And bury it so deep
           C   F   C
If I could buy you back
              F                  C
The years you worked yourself to death
                F          C
I would buy and waste your suffering
            D7
Until there wasn’t any left
   F                C    F C   F C
If I could buy your pain


[Chorus]
G
All the money in the world 
               F                  C
Couldn’t buy a drop of real love, could it?
       F                      C
And it really shouldn’t, now, should it?
           D7                             F              C F C   F C   F C   F C
'Cause I’d gladly give you every piece of my whole heart__


[Verse 4]
               F    C
If I could buy this town
             F            C
I'd keep the Friday night bleachers
                    F   C
Full of kids falling in love
    D7
And unlikely believers
        C    F            C
And the fire-fighters are there
       F                  C
'Cause their kid’s in the game
             F       C
And we don’t win too often
    D7
But that ain’t why we came
   F                C   F C   F C   F C   F C   F C   F C
If I could buy this town
