Nashville

	  		

     G                            D 
On a childhood highway, through a night alone 
      Em                      A 
I was barely breathing, I was crawling home 
          G                        D 
Well it's not quite London, or the south of France 
      Em                 A              G D/F# D/E 
Or an Asian island, or a second chance. 

D                        Em 
Going back to Nashville, thinking about the whole thing 
D/F#                    Gmaj7 G5 
Guess you gotta run sometimes 
Bm                     D 
Maybe I'm a fast train rolling down a mountain 
G                       A (2 measures) 
Watching all my life go by. 

         G                         D 
You're a distant memory, you're an exit sign 
      Em                   A 
I was talking crazy on the driver's side 
      G                      D 
And I know I hurt you, but I can't confess 
         Em                            A              G D/F# D/E 
Was that blood or a wine stain on your wedding dress? 

D                        Em 
Going back to Nashville, thinking about the whole thing 
D/F#                    G 
Guess you gotta run sometimes 
Bm                     E7 
Maybe I'm a fast train rolling down a mountain 
G                       A 
Watching all my life go by. 

D                        Em 
Going back to Nashville, laughing at a bad break 
D/F#                        G 
What's the use in wondering why? 
Bm                      D 
Maybe I'm a storm front blowing through the valley 
G 
Tearing up a good July. 

         A                   Em                   G 
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 
Change a southern night for you. 

          G                           D/F#         D/A  D 
Well it's not quite evening, and it's not New York 
          Em                          A 
There's a scar in the blue sky by the old airport 
        G                    D 
And I'm talking crazy on the driver's side 
       Em             D/F#       G            A  
I will always love you    like a long goodbye.
