verse 1
G D
I pour my heart out, three minutes at a time

On a J-45, but no one's listening

I scream my lungs out, confess my secrets, all my sins
Am
But they don't give a damn

Cause if it don't sound like the radio? Pass
[Refrão]
Am D
Nashville, you win

Your steel guitars and broken hearts have done me in

They buried my grandad without me

Cause I was out on the road at some one off show

In Tubalo, and I can't take that one back

I was in love once and I pushed him away
Cadd9
And the price I pay is a whole lot of lonely nights
D
And a whole lot of songs that never see the light
