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

Oh in Tennessee

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