Intro:
|G |D |C |C

Verse 1:
                 G           C           G
Don't waste your life behind that guitar
            C
You may get gone, but you won't get far
               G                C      G
You're not the first, you won't be the last
            C
And you can tell us all about it when you come crawling back
                 Em                 D
That road you're on, just winds and winds
                          C
Your spinning your wheels and wasting you're time

Chorus 1:
             G              C G
But when the lights come up and I hear the band
    C
And where they said I'd never be is exactly where I am
           Em                   D
I hear the crowd, I look around
                          C                         G             D
And I can't find an empty chair, not bad for a girl goin' nowhere

Verse 2:
            G          C      G
I get these calls, out on the road
           C
Heard your song on my radio
          G          C           G
We always said you'd make it big
                           C
And I tell all my friends, I knew you back when
              Em                      D
So don't for- get all us little folks
                             C
And when you crash and burn, remember we told you so

Chorus 2:
             G              C G
And then the lights come up and I hear the band
    C
And where they said I'd never be is exactly where I am
           Em                   D
I hear the crowd, I look around
                           C                                   G
And I can't find one empty chair, not bad for a girl goin' no- where

Solo:
|D |C |C |G |D |C |C

Bridge:
  Em               D         C
I need to thank my daddy for that first set of strings
    G                             D
And all those folks who swore I'd never be anything
          Em                 D                 C
It took a whole lot of yes I wills and I don't care
        Em              D                      C
A whole lot of basement dives and county fairs

Outro:
        Em                       D                        C
To this show right now and y'all sure look good out there
    C              D             Em
Not bad for a girl goin' nowhere
    C                    D       G
Not bad for a girl goin' nowhere
