🎸 Verse 1:
          D MajorD     G+G   D MajorD
Don't waste your life behind that guitar
       B minorBm           G+G
You may get gone, but you won't get far
         D MajorD          G+G   D MajorD
You're not the first, boy you won't be the last
       G+G
And you can tell us all about it when you come crawlin' back
            B minorBm
Cause that road you're on, it just winds and winds

You're spinning your wheels, and wastin' your time

        D MajorD      G+G       D MajorD
But when the lights come up and I hear the band
   G+G
And where they said I'd never be is right here where I stand
      B minorBm        A augmentedA                C/GC/G
I see the crowd and I look around, and I can't find an empty chair
   G+G       A augmentedA    D MajorD
Not bad for a boy goin' nowhere

Now I get these calls, out on the road
           B minorBm      G+G
Yeah, we heard your song on the radio
      D MajorD     G+G         D MajorD
We always said you'd make it big back then
     G+G
Yeah and I tell everybody that I knew you back when
      B minorBm
So don't forget us little folks
          C/GC/G
When you crash and burn, remember we told you so


🎸 Chorus:
        D MajorD      G+G       D MajorD

   G+G
And where they said I'd never be is right here where I stand

I see the crowd and I look around, and I can't find an empty chair
   G+G       A augmentedA    D MajorD
Not bad for a guy goin' nowhere


🎸 Outro:
    B minorBm              G+G
And I need to thank the Father for every song I sing
      D MajorD            A7A7
And for everyone who ever said I'd never be anything
      B minorBm          A augmentedA        G+G
It took a whole lot of 'yes I wills' and 'I don't cares'
        B minorBm      A augmentedA           G+G
A augmentedA lot of run down dives and bars and rain-soaked fairs
     B minorBm        A augmentedA         E7E7
To get to all of you down here and way back there
   G+G       A augmentedA   B minorBm
Not bad for a guy goin' nowhere
   G+G       A augmentedA    D MajorD
Not bad for a boy goin' nowhere
