Version 1Quiet Town - The Killers Pressure Machine (2021) Capo on 3rd fret [Intro] G D Em C [Verse 1] G D A couple of kids got hit by a Union Pacific train Em C Carrying sheet metal and household appliances through the pouring rain G They were planning on getting married after graduation D Em Had a little baby girl, trouble came and shut it down C Things like that ain't supposed to happen [Chorus 1] G D In this quiet town, families are tight Em C Good people, they still don't deadbolt their doors at night G In this quiet town G D Em C e|-3--3-3--------0--0-0-0----------------------------------------| B|-0--1-0-3--3-3-0--0-0-1----------------------------------------| G|-0--0-0-2--4-2-0--2-4-0----------------------------------------| D|-0--0-0-0--0-0-2--2-2-2----------------------------------------| A|----------------------3----------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------| [Verse 2] G D When we first heard opioid stories, they were always in whispering tones Em C Now banners of sorrow mark the front steps of childhood homes Parents wept through daddy's girl eulogies G D And merit badge milestones with their daughters and sons Em Laying there lifeless in their suits and gowns C Somebody's been keepin' secrets [Chorus 2] G D In this quiet town, they know how to live Em C Good people who lean on Jesus, they're quick to forgive G In this quiet town D D Em C e|-3--3-3--------0--0-0--0-0-0-----------------------------------| B|-3--5-3-3--5-3-3--1-0--1-0-1-----------------------------------| G|-0--0-0-2--2-2-0--0-0--0-0-0-----------------------------------| D|-0--0-0-0--0-0-2--2-2--2-2-2-----------------------------------| A|---------------------------3-----------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------| [Verse 3] G D Now whenever I'm near the town I'll find some reason to give Em C And I will walk with the dead and the living where I used to live G And every time I see my parents in the prime of their lives D Em Offering their son the kind of love he could never put down C Well, part of me is still that stainless kid, lucky [Chorus 3] G D In this quiet town, salt of the land Em C Hard-working people, if you're in trouble, they'll lend you a hand G Here in this quiet town G D Em C e|-3--3-3------0--0-0-0-0--0-0-0---------------------------------| B|-3--1-0-3--5-5--3-1-0-1--1-1-3---------------------------------| G|-0--0-0-2--2-0--0-0-0-0--0-0-0---------------------------------| D|-0--0-0-0--0-2--2-2-2-2--2-2-2---------------------------------| A|----------------------3--3-3-3---------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------| [Solo] G D Em C [Outro] G The first crop of hay is up D School let out and the sun beats down Em Smoke billows from a Sunday train C That cries away from a quiet town G D Em C G
