Intro:

E C#m B
E C#m B


Verse 1:

E                      C#m   B
Pour out your heart on 3:20
    E              C#m         B
The one you didn't write for the money
E               C#m          B    A
You turn it in, nobody's listening
E                         C#m    B
But you got a cut, so the check's coming
E                        C#m      B
If it ain't a single, it don't mean nothing
E                 C#m           B       A
Every girl with a dream wants to be your friend

Chorus:

A                   C#m       B
One day, you're the king, the next you're not
A                   C#m           B
It's handshakes and whiskey shots, boy
    A              C#m          B          A
And throwing up in parking lots all by yourself
    A                     C#m B
But i ain't never leaving Nashville
A                     C#m B    A
I ain't never leaving Nashville


Verse 2:

E                         C#m  B
You're getting calls from old friends
           E                       C#m   B
They say, "heard your song – wanna write again?"
E                     C#m       B           A
You're coming up with brand new ways to say no
            E          C#m       B
Then you're six months without a hold
E                       C#m     B
Every other day, you're getting canceled
E                       C#m             B      A
Calling up old friends; that's just the way it goes


Chorus 2:

A                   C#m       B
One day, you're the king, the next you're not
A               C#m         B
Handshakes and whiskey shots
A                  C#m          B           A
And throwing up in parking lots all gone to hell
      A                           C#m     B
Well, i ain't never leaving Nashville
A                     C#m     B      A
i ain't never leaving Nashville


Bridge:

             A                        B
Oh, and your friends are friends with country stars
              C#m              E
Yeah, they're buying homes and here you are
       A               C#m    B  A
You're two months from living in your car

A                           C#m    B
But you ain't never leaving Nashville
A                       C#m     B    A
You ain't never leaving Nashville


Chorus:

A                        C#m       B
Ooh, one day, you're the king, the next you're not
A              C#m         B
Handshakes and whiskey shots
A              C#m         B                A
To picking up the pieces you lost of yourself

      A                     C#m     B
Well, i ain't never leaving Nashville
A                     C#m    B
I ain't never leaving Nashville
A                     C#m    B
I ain't never leaving Nashville
A                     C#m    B
I ain't never leaving Nashville
A                     C#m    B
I ain't never leaving this town

A                     C#m    B
