I can't stop thinking about 23

by then will all my time set me free

will I still love temporary things

Where are you gonna go when the lights go out in Tennessee
C Am F
Where are you gonna run when the sky goes dark beneath your feet

What are you chasing what will you find

Inside the city built in your mind

Where are you going to go when the lights go out in Tennessee
F
Oh in Tennessee

Sometimes I wonder why I try so hard
C Am F
To hide that I'm insecure at all

G few clean clothes months without a car
Am F/E
And I was coming home to something I’ve never known
F
And it's scaring me to my core
[Chorus]

Where are you gonna go when the lights go out in Tennessee

Where are you gonna run when the sky goes dark beneath your feet

Oh in Tennessee

What if the lighthouse was never really on the shore
Am F/E Dm
What if the lighthouse was never really on the shore

In anything you do and it puts you through hell

And you hope and you pray that maybe someday

You could see somebody else

Can please someone let me know
