[Verse]
D Bm G
I can't stop thinking about 23
D Bm G
by then will all my time set me free
D Bm G
will I still love temporary things
D Bm G
when will I realize that I myself am one of these
[Chorus]
D Bm G
Where are you gonna go when the lights go out in Tennessee
D Bm G
Where are you gonna run when the sky goes dark beneath your feet
Bm G/F#
What are you chasing what will you find
G
Inside the city built in your mind
D Bm G
Where are you going to go when the lights go out in Tennessee
G
Oh in Tennessee
[Instrumental]
Bm - G/F# - G - G x2
[Verse]
D Bm G
Sometimes I wonder why I try so hard
D Bm G
To hide that I'm insecure at all
D Bm G
A few clean clothes months without a car
Bm G/F#
And I was coming home to something I’ve never known
G
And it's scaring me to my core
[Chorus]
D Bm G
Where are you gonna go when the lights go out in Tennessee
D Bm G
Where are you gonna run when the sky goes dark beneath your feet
Bm G/F#
What are you chasing what will you find
G
Inside the city built in your mind
D Bm G
Where are you going to go when the lights go out in Tennessee
G
Oh in Tennessee
[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
Bm G/F# G
What if the lighthouse was never really on the shore
Bm G/F# Em
What if the lighthouse was never really on the shore
Bm G/F#
What if you're 18 and lost and you can't find yourself
G
In anything you do and it puts you through hell
Bm G/F#
And you hope and you pray that maybe someday
Em
You could see somebody else
Em N.C.
Can please someone let me know
[Post-Chorus]
Bm G/F# G
Where are you gonna go when the lights go out in Tennessee
Bm G/F# Em
Where are you gonna run when the sky goes dark beneath your feet
N.C. G/F# G
What are you chasing what will you find inside the city built in your mind
Bm G/F# Em
Where are you going to go when the lights go out in Tennessee
Em
Oh in Tennessee
