C G/B Am7 G....................
C G/B Am7 G....................
[Verse 1]
C G/B Am7Packin' that bag you unpacked yesterday
G FWatchin' the world through the windowpane
C/E Dm7From the second row of the ten-man van
G CThat you've been calling home
G/B Am7It ain't quite the life you dreamed about
G FWhen Momma calls and you miss out
C/E Dm7 G'Cause you're on stage at a damned ole one-off show
[Chorus]
FThey tell you 'bout the old guitars
C G/BThe songs that bought the house and cars
Am7 GAnd.....how your hometown's proud...of where you are
FAnd your name up on the marquee sign
C G/BBut not the dark that comes to find you
F C/E Dm7Every single time them lights Go down
G CYeah, that's the part, they don't tell you about
[Interlude]
G/B Am7 G...............
[Verse 2]
C G/B Am7You try to dry her eyes, from a thousand miles apart
G FAnd hope that Band-Aid on her heart
C/E Dm7 GSticks just long enough for you to make it home
C G/B Am7..She feels like she comes in second place
G FTo plaques on walls and long highways
C/E Dm7 GShe needs something more than words to hold on to
[Chorus]
FThey tell you 'bout the old guitars
C G/BThe songs that bought the house and cars
Am7 GAnd....how your hometown's proud....of where you are
FAnd they tell you 'bout the girls you'll get
C G/BBut not the one you're gonna miss
F C/E Dm7While they scream your name again in some small town
G Am7Yeah, that's the part, they don't tell you about
[Bridge]
GWhen you're doing it all right
FAnd man it still feels wrong
Dm7Breakin' her **** heart
GChasing these **** songs
[Pre-Chorus]
F..Thinking man it ain't that hard
C G..Strum some chords on that old guitar
Am7..Do some shots in a smokey bar
GAnd everybody knows your name
[Chorus]
FTill they're changing out the marquee sign
C G/BThen that darkness comes to find you
F C/E Dm7And everyone's gone home and the lights Go down
G CYeah, that's the part, they don't tell you about
[Outro]
G/B Am7 G C G/B Am7 G...........They don't tell you about.............
C.....
