Intro: (C) (G) (Am) (G) x 2
(C) Packin' that bag you (C/B) unpacked yester(Am)day
Watchin' the (G) world through the windowp(F)ane
From the second (C/E) row of the ten-man (Dm7) van
That (G) you've been calling (C) home
It ain't quite the (G) life you dreamed ab(Am)out
When momma (G) calls and you miss (F) out
'Cause you're on (C) stage at a (Dm7) damned ol' one-off (G) show
They (F) tell you 'bout the old guitars
The (C) songs that bought the (G/B) house and cars
And (Am7) how your hometown's proud (G) of where you are
And your (F) name up on the marquee sign
But (C) not the dark that (G/B) comes to find you
(F) Every single (C) time them lights go (Dm7) down
Yeah, that's the (G) part, they don't tell you ab(C)out
You try to dry her eyes, from a thousand miles apart
And hope that Band-Aid on her heart
Sticks just long enough for you to make it home
She feels like she comes in second place
To plaques on walls and long highways
She needs something more than words to hold onto
They tell you 'bout the old guitars
The songs that bought the House and cars
And how your hometown's proud of where you are
And they tell you 'bout the girls you'll get
But not the one you're gonna miss
While they scream your name again in some small town
Yeah, that's the part, they don't tell you about
(Am7) When you're doing it all (G) right
And, man, it still feels (F) wrong
Breakin' her damn (Dm7) heart
Chasin' these damn (G) songs
(F) Thinkin', man, it ain't that hard
(C) Strum some chords on that (G) old guitar
(Am7) Do some shots in a smokey bar
And (G) everybody knows your name
'Til they're (F) changing out the marquee sign
(C) Then that darkness (G) comes to find you
And (F) everyone's gone (C) home and the lights go (Dm7) down
Yeah, that's the (G) part, they don't tell you ab(C)out
They don't (G) tell you ab(C)out
