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

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

Em C/B C
What if the lighthouse was never really on the shore
Em C/B Am
What if the lighthouse was never really on the shore
Em C/B
What if you're 18 and lost and you can't find yourself
C
In anything you do and it puts you through hell
Em C/B
And you hope and you pray that maybe someday
Am
You could see somebody else
Am N.C.
Can please someone let me know
[Post-Chorus]
Em C/B C
Where are you gonna go when the lights go out in Tennessee
Em C/B Am
Where are you gonna run when the sky goes dark beneath your feet
N.C. C/B C
What are you chasing what will you find inside the city built in your mind
Em C/B Am
Where are you going to go when the lights go out in Tennessee
Am
Oh in Tennessee
