Nashville.
Gretchen Peters.
Album: Blackbirds.
Capo 6.
Intro: D
G D
On a childhood highway through a night alone,
Bm Em7 D/A A G/A A
I was barely breathing, I was crawling home,
G D
Well it’s not quite London or the south of France,
Bm Em7 D/A A A/G F#m7 A
Or an Asian island or a second chance.
(Chorus)
D D/E Em7
Going back to Nashville, thinking 'bout the whole thing,
D/F# G
Guess you gotta run sometimes,
Bm7 F#6 D
Maybe I’m a fast train rolling down a mountain,
Gmaj7 A
Watching all my life go by.
F#m7 G A/G G D
You’re a distant memory...you’re an exit sign,
Bm Em7 D/A A
I was talking crazy on the driver’s side,
F#m7 G D
And I know I hurt you but I can’t confess,
A6 Em7 D/A A A7 F#m7 Em
Was that blood or a wine stain on your wedding dress.
(Chorus)
D Em7
Going back to Nashville, thinking 'bout the whole thing,
D G
Guess you gotta run sometimes,
Bm7 G6 Bm7 D G6 D
Maybe I’m a fast train rolling down a mountain,
G A
Watching all my life go by,
D Em7
Going back to Nashville, laughing at a bad break,
D/F# G
What’s the use in wondering why,
Bm7 E7
Baby, I’m a storm front blowing through the valley,
G
Tearing up a good July,
A Bm7 Gmaj7 Bm7
And it’s safe and warm where nothing ever happens,
A Bm A G
Would it be so hard to realign a star or two?
Bm A D G6 A D
Change a southern night for you.
G G/D D
Well it’s not quite evening and it’s not New York,
Em7 D6 A
There’s a scar in the blue sky by the old airport,
F#m7 G G/D D
And I’m talking crazy on the driver’s side,
Em7 D G A
I will always love you like a long goodbye.
