You might call it sad confusion. You might even call it off. 
         A                                                                    D      (Dsus2   D   Dsus2    D   Dsus2) 
But once you called me more than just your friend. 
                       D                                                            G5    D/F#   Em   Em7 
Now there's more to what I'm thinkin' than the Mississippi Line. 
        A                     G5                         D 
And Tennessee is not the state I'm in. 

        D                                           G5                 D/F#      Em       Em7 
You call me up at midnight to explain your whereabouts. 
     A                                                                       D      
I should've seen your love was comin to an end. 
                    D                                                     G5        D/F#      Em      Em7 
And as you call from longer distances, I began to have my doubts. 
        A                     G5                         D 
Still Tennessee is not the state I'm in. 


        G                                                   D      Bm                                        A      G      F#m   A/C# 
No, Tennessee is not the state I'm in. Satisfied is not the way I've been. 
         D                                             G5             D/F#    Em       Em7 
I can feel my world turning as I watch the bottle spin 
        A                     G5                        D 
Still Tennessee is not the state I'm in.

Well, I could stand out on that highway trying to make that Nashville scene. 
          A                                                           D  
But I think I've stretched my luck a little thin. 
        D                                                               G5           D/F#         Em     Em7 
So I walk the streets of Memphis, but I'll have you understand 
         A                     G5                         D 
That Tennessee is not the state I'm in 



        G                                                   D         Bm                                                     A      G      F#m   A/C# 
No, Tennessee is not the state I'm in and down to Earth is not the place I been. 
        D                                             G5            D/F#       Em         Em7 
I can feel my world turning as I watch the bottle spin 
        A                     G5                        D 
Still Tennessee is not the state I'm in.
