I think this little song could be interpreted many ways. I decided to try to make it a jazz song, maybe it didn't really turn out a jazz song, but whatevs.

lyrics

Capo: 1st fret

Verse 1
Am Asus4 G
This little place
Em7 Em Am
In the middle of nowhere
Am Asus4 G Asus4 Em
I'm not sure how to word it
D Dmai7
I guess I'll stay
D6 Dmaj9
No one else wants to go here
Asus4 D7 G
It's a place so quiet and deserted

Chorus

G G6 Am Bm Em F/F#m
I'd visit all my old friends
G Gb(b9) Am Em Bm
Like I used to do before
G G6 Am Bm Em F/F#m
But it doesn't make much sense
G Em Am D D7 G G7
The bus doesn't go here anymore

Verse 2
I'm thinking now
'member drinking on Friday night?
Ever wondered why they felt so good then?
But now I just think
Of reasons why they might
Never be that way again

Chorus

Got my first kiss, tried to melt her
Heart and said "forever yours"
Now they tore down that old bus shelter
Cuz the bus doesn't stop here anymore

Bridge
C B
I'll never go the labor union
A(barred with opened high E) G
Or attend my high school reunion
C B D6 Gm
They are also far away
C B
Maybe I've made a mistake in
A(open high E) C6
Staying in this god forsaken
C B A#m Am
Place that gets lonelier each day

Verse 3

Now and then I
Will think again of where the hell God is
And what he is doing now
But it seems to me
That even he forgot us
There's nothing left of the place I grew in now

Chorus

You might ask me why I stay
When everything is such a bore
I want to pack my bags and move away
But the bus doesn’t go here anymore
