Well, if the (Am)music wasn't (Em)running through the (Am)blood in my (Em)veins
I might just (F)walk away, oh I would (G)walk away
But the (Am)music keeps on (Em)running through the (Am)blood in my (Em)veins
And it just (F) makes me stay, oh it (G)makes me say

Like an (F)old tin star, I'm beat up and rust-(C)y
Lost in the (G)shining skies of Nashville Tennes-(Am)see

Like in the (G)shining stars, the shining stars
