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

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