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

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

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