Capo 2 


Intro: D 


verse 1 
    D 
You don't know why, you can't make it stop 
         G 
You were hooked with your daddy's hand-me-down flat top 
    D                                        G 
The first time that you made your first love cry 
        D 
And the words you wrote were running from her eyes 
G 
Down on the paper, made you feel so alive 
       D                                                G 
So you packed up your pickup and crossed that Tennessee line

              G 
You're always searching for a little something different to say 
       Bm 
In the Bible, from a woman who's standing on the stage 
        G                                         D D/C# A 
You get told you fit in, you get told you don't belong 
              G 
You drink too much in a smokey little bar downtown 
        Bm 
Stumble home when it's time to throw in the towel 
     G                                             D D/C# A 
Wake up in the morning, look out, and the sunlight hurts 
          Bm                             G 
Find your old guitar, write down another verse 
                         D      G 
In the land of a million songs 


verse 2 
     D 
Everybody's got a story that needs to be sold 
         G 
And they pray someday they'll hang a little gold 
    D                                                G 
And ride back to their hometown with their head held high 
       D 
On any given day, there's a dream, there's a chance 
     G 
That lightning will strike at the end of a pen 
            D                                          G 
And all the leaving, and losing, will all be worth the fight

You get told you fit in, you get told you don't belong 
              G 
You take that loading dock job just to pay the rent 
    Bm 
You learn a few things from them hard-working men 
    G                                         D D/C# A 
You listen to 'em laugh and you listen to 'em curse 
              Bm                                G 
You find your old guitar and write down another verse

Bridge 
D                            G 
Some will come and some will go 
             D                                  G 
If you don't lay it all out there, you'll never know
