Tennessee

verse 1 
N.C.          D 
You know it's   beautiful there in the spring and I don't 
Em 
  Think people realize what they're missing by 
G 
  Never following the old dirt roads cause they 
A7 
  Don't think it matters where they'll go. 

    D 
The   weather's warm but the nights are cold and it's 
Em 
  Never like what you've been told 
           G                           N.C. 
I couldn't stand the chill, I couldn't take the heat 
         A7    N.C. 
I didn't think that the south was right for me 


Chorus 
          D 
But now I can't go back to Tennessee again 
  Em 
I wish I could, you know I miss my friend 
G 
  But last I heard, the roads all closed 
      A7 
Tennessee doesn't want me anymore, no. 


verse 2 
D 
  Music blaring, with windows down 
    Em 
When   things were good we ruled this town 
G 
  The steering wheel was in your hands 
        A7 
We were   going places, we had plans. 

       D 
On the passenger seat, I never got to drive 
    Em 
But til we broke down it was quite the ride 
G 
  Anarchy in 85 
   A7 N.C. 
We never would make it out alive 


Bridge 
D N.C. 
  Do you remember, it was March 
         D N.C. 
When you left me 
       Em N.C. 
At the truck stop 
       G N.C. 
It was fucked up 
       A7 N.C. 
End of   full stop. 

           D N.C. 
You didn't give me a map, 
           Em N.C. 
You didn't give me a warning 
       G N.C. 
When I woke up without you 
A7 N.C. 
In the morning 

           D 
If I could just go back, I'd still do it all again 
Em 
Things went bad, I know they had to end 
G 
  The house is shuttered, now the coop's been flown 
      A7 N.C. 
Tennessee can't be my home. 


Chorus 
          D 
So, no, I can't go back to Tennessee again 
  Em 
I wish I could, you know I miss my friend 
G 
  But last I heard, the roads all closed 
      A7 
Tennessee doesn't want me anymore. 


Outro 
    D 
The  construction season's 2 years in 
        Em 
I don't   know that it's worth it to keep fixing 
     G 
I'll   find a new state, new state of mind 
      A7 N.C. 
But I never left you behind.
