I can't stop thinking about 23

by then will all my time set me free
G# Fm C#
will I still love temporary things

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

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

Where are you gonna go when the lights go out in Tennessee
G# Fm C#
Where are you gonna run when the sky goes dark beneath your feet

Inside the city built in your mind

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

Oh in Tennessee

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