Bright Lights And The Fame chords by Michaela Anne

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
E B7 G#m E

Verse 1:
E
You struck me as the kind of man
                  G#m  D#m
I'd love and lose alone
G#m
A ramblin' man with a beat-up plan
                  E
Dreams of hitting gold
E
But you stole me heart playing your guitar
                  A
You sang me to my vows
   G#m
So when you said you were settling in
                   E
I didn't listen my doubts

Chorus:
E
Cause the honky-tonks

And the cowboy songs
                      A
Will always call your name
           G#m   B7
No, you'll never love anything as much
   G#m                   E
As bright lights and the fame

Instrumental:
E B7 G#m E

Verse 2:
E
So it was good at first

You found some steady work
                      G#m
You were happy as can be
D#m        G#m
But as the babies grew
D#m      G#m
I saw us tire you
                            E
The simple life left you in need
E
Well I would cook and clean

I tried everything
                  A
To keep you as my own
       G#m
Oh but from the start
                             D#m
I should have listened to my heart
              G#m            E
Cause I could never keep you home

Chorus:
E
Cause the honky-tonks

And the cowboy songs
                      A
Will always call your name
           B7             G#m     D#m
Oh, you'll never love anything as much
   G#m                   E
As bright lights and the fame

Instrumental:
E B7 G#m B7 G#m E

Verse 3:
E
So when it came

The day you went away
                G#m
I didn't shed a tear
                      D#m
Instead I kissed your lips
                     B7
And told my heart to quit
        G#m            E
Holding on just out of fear
E
It ain't you and me

You were meant to be
                   A
On the highway all alone
        G#m
Singing songs about
                   B7
The woman that you lost
        G#m             E
All for nothing but the road

Chorus:
E
Cause the honky-tonks

And the cowboy songs
                      A
Will always call your name
           B7
Oh, you'll never love anything as much
   G#m                   E
As bright lights and the fame

Reprise:
           G#m   D#m     B7
Oh, you'll never love anything as much
   G#m                   E
As bright lights and the fame
