C E7 Am7 F

Verse 1:
C              E7                                Am7
When I need to put my feet back on the ground
  F                  C
I go back to my hometown
        E7                    Am7
When I need a night to act my age
          F                           C
Me and my friends stay out too late
           E7                     Am7
And when I need to feel good in my skin
            F                    C
I drop everything and run to him
              E7                         Am7
When nothin' makes sense, but I need to talk
              F
That's when I call my mom

Chorus:
                    C               E7
But I wanna write a country song
              Am7           F
When nothin's gentle on my mind
                C                  E7
And I'm needin' somethin' strong
        Am7           F
And I'm almost out of wine
     C                 E7
When I get so lonesome, my truth gets told some
 Am7                  F
Whether it's right or wrong
              Dm7                     Em
I stay up all night, done it my whole life
                    F    Fm
Sometimes you gotta write   a country song

C E7 Am7 F

Verse 2:
C      E7                        Am7
Got me through the drama with my ex
     F                      C
The first time that I had sex
            E7                         Am7
The day the word "divorce" got really real
                  F
My first year in Nashville
             C                             E7
Maybe it's 'cause of my raisin' or what my parents were playin'
          Am7                         F
Or when I feel my heart breakin', no hesitation


Chorus:

                 C               E7
I go and write a country song
              Am7           F
When nothin's gentle on my mind
                C                  E7
And I'm needin' somethin' strong
        Am7           F
And I'm almost out of wine
     C                 E7
When I get so lonesome, my truth gets told some
 Am7                  F
Whether it's right or wrong
              Dm7                     Em
I stay up all night, done it my whole life
                    F    Fm
Sometimes you gotta write   a country song


Bridge:
C              E7                               Am7
  'Bout love, 'bout lies, 'bout my baby's truck
            F
Real life, that's the stuff, yeah
C             E7                           Am7
  First kiss, last call, bad breakin' ups
          F
My life, that's what


Chorus:
                 C             E7
Makes me write a country song
               Am7          F
When nothin's gentle on my mind
                 C                E7
And I'm needin' somethin' strong
     Am7            F
And now I'm out of wine
     C                  E7
When I get so lonesome, my truth gets told some
Am7                    F
Whether it's right or wrong
               Dm7               Em
Gets me every time, story of my life
                    F   Fm
There ain't nothin' like   a country song


Outro:
C                     E7                           Am7
  ('Bout love, 'bout lies, 'bout my baby's truck)
                  F
Yeah (Real life, that's the stuff, yeah)
A country song
C                  E7                       Am7
(First kiss, last call, bad breakin' ups)
          F
(My life, that's what) Hey
End on C
