  G (4)               

Down here, where we're at, the weather changes, that's the way it goes

 C (2)                                                         G (2)
Sometimes it snows, when everything's wrong

Sometimes it snows, but when it does, it doesn't last long

Down here, where we're at, all we do is sit out on the porch

          C (2)                                      G (2)
And play our songs, and nothing's wrong

  D                                           C (hold)            G (2)

Down here, where we're at, sweat drips from the tip of your nose

You wear loose clothes, and you try to stay cool

We all still have a lot of fun, never saw much school

     We don't care what happens outside the screen
