G  D  Am7 D  G

[Verse 1]
G
She sucks on the bottle
D
  Holds it in her hand
Am7                                 G
  And thinks its shaped like a woman
G                D
  Shes seventeen,  not yet a woman
        Am7                  Bm7             G
But the beer is cold and it tastes like freedom


[Chorus]
        Em
And she likes it
D        G
It feels good
         C            G     D
This is Independence, Indiana
        Em
And she likes that

D        G
It feels good
          C           G
Life may never be as sweet again
   D             C     G   D   Am7 Bm7   G
As Independence, Indiana


[Verse 2]
G
If you ask her
D
  She'll tell you high school sucks
Am7          Bm7                G
  People say shes just like her mother
G
But she's got a boyfriend

D
  And he's got a car
Am7                   Bm7                        G
  And they just can't keep their hands off each other


[Chorus]
         Em
And she likes it
D        G
It feels good
        C             G     D
This is Independence, Indiana
        Em
And she likes that

D        G
It feels good
          C           G
Life may never be as sweet again
   D             C     G
As Independence, Indiana


[Bridge]
Em           C                 G
And all her friends seem hell-bent
    D
On getting out of town
Em         C          G
  They say I'm moving up
         D                   Em
And this place just drags me down

      C          G        D                Em
Shes about had enough of waving brave goodbyes
              C                 G
The greyhound bus, the sighing brakes
             D                     Em   C   G  D
Nothing else makes such desperate sense

G
 She sucks on the bottle
D
  Holds it up to the light
           Am7                  G
And thinks beer is so underrated
G
  But she's got a boyfriend

D
  And he's got a car
Am7             Bm7                   G
  And life just ain't that complicated


[Chorus]
         Em
And she likes it
D        G
It feels good
        C             G     D
This is Independence, Indiana
        Em
And she likes that

D         G
It feels good
          C           G
Life may never be as sweet again
   D             C     G  D  Am Bm  C G
As Independence, Indiana
