You can also capo 2 and play D Bm A G instead of E C#m B A
E = D
C#m = Bm
B = A
A = G
Intro:
E C#m B twice
E C#m B
Pour out your heart on 3:20
E C#m B
The one you didn't write for the money
E C#m B A
You turn it in, nobody's listening
E C#m B
But you got a cut, so the check's coming
E C#m B
If it ain't a single, it don't mean nothing
E C#m B A
Every girl with a dream wants to be your friend
Chorus:
A C#m B
One day, you're the king, the next you're not
A C#m B
It's handshakes and whiskey shots, boy
A C#m B A
And throwing up in parking lots all by yourself
A C#m B
But i ain't never leaving Nashville
A C#m B
I ain't never leaving Nashville
You're getting calls from old friends
They say, "heard your song – wanna write again?"
You're coming up with brand new ways to say no
Then you're six months without a hold
Every other day, you're getting canceled
Calling up old friends; that's just the way it goes
Chorus 2:
One day, you're the king, the next you're not
Handshakes and whiskey shots
And throwing up in parking lots all gone to hell
Well, hell, i ain't never leaving Nashville
i ain't never leaving Nashville
Bridge:
A B
Oh, and your friends are friends with country stars
C#m E
Yeah, they're buying homes and here you are
A C#m B A
You're two months from living in your car
But you ain't never leaving Nashville
You ain't never leaving Nashville
Chorus 3:
Ooh, one day, you're the king, the next you're not
Handshakes and whiskey shots
To picking up the pieces you lost of yourself
Well, i ain't never leaving Nashville
I ain't never leaving Nashville
I ain't never leaving Nashville
I ain't never leaving Nashville
I ain't never leaving this town
One day, you're the king, the next you're not
