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
