C# A#m F#
I can't stop thinking about 23
C# A#m F#
by then will all my time set me free
C# A#m F#
will I still love temporary things
C# A#m F#
when will I realize that I myself am one of these
[Chorus]
C# A#m F#
Where are you gonna go when the lights go out in Tennessee
C# A#m F#
Where are you gonna run when the sky goes dark beneath your feet
A#m F#/F
What are you chasing what will you find
F#
Inside the city built in your mind
C# A#m F#
Where are you going to go when the lights go out in Tennessee
F#
Oh in Tennessee
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
C# A#m F#
Sometimes I wonder why I try so hard
C# A#m F#
To hide that I'm insecure at all
C# A#m F#
G# few clean clothes months without a car
A#m F#/F
And I was coming home to something I’ve never known
F#
And it's scaring me to my core
[Chorus]
C# A#m F#
Where are you gonna go when the lights go out in Tennessee
C# A#m F#
Where are you gonna run when the sky goes dark beneath your feet
A#m F#/F
What are you chasing what will you find
F#
Inside the city built in your mind
C# A#m F#
Where are you going to go when the lights go out in Tennessee
F#
Oh in Tennessee

A#m F#/F F#
What if the lighthouse was never really on the shore
A#m F#/F D#m
What if the lighthouse was never really on the shore
A#m F#/F
What if you're 18 and lost and you can't find yourself
F#
In anything you do and it puts you through hell
A#m F#/F
And you hope and you pray that maybe someday
D#m
You could see somebody else
D#m N.C.
Can please someone let me know

A#m F#/F F#
Where are you gonna go when the lights go out in Tennessee
