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

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

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