I can't stop thinking about 23
A# Gm D#
by then will all my time set me free
A# Gm D#

when will I realize that I myself am one of these
[Chorus]
A# Gm D#
Where are you gonna go when the lights go out in Tennessee
A# Gm D#
Where are you gonna run when the sky goes dark beneath your feet
Gm D#/D
What are you chasing what will you find
D#
Inside the city built in your mind
A# Gm D#
Where are you going to go when the lights go out in Tennessee
D#
Oh in Tennessee

[Verse]
A# Gm D#
Sometimes I wonder why I try so hard
A# Gm D#
To hide that I'm insecure at all
A# Gm D#
F few clean clothes months without a car
Gm D#/D
And I was coming home to something I’ve never known
D#
And it's scaring me to my core
[Chorus]

Where are you gonna go when the lights go out in Tennessee
A# Gm D#
Where are you gonna run when the sky goes dark beneath your feet

What if the lighthouse was never really on the shore
Gm D#/D Cm
What if the lighthouse was never really on the shore

And you hope and you pray that maybe someday

You could see somebody else
Cm N.C.
Can please someone let me know
