Chords with lyrics
[Intro]
E MajorE
[Verse 1]
E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE
In this town everybody's trying to get a piece of everybody else
B7B7
It gets hard to tell a real friend from a fake one
E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE
So many promises, favors, and lies, most of the town wears a good disguise
B7B7 E MajorE
And even I, too, have been known to wear one
[Verse 2]
E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE
As the saying goes, it's not who you know, but it's who you blow that'll put you in the show
B7B7
And if that's not the case I hear you pay 'em
E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE
But I don't come easy and I'm flat broke, so I guess it's me who gets the joke
B7B7 E MajorE
Maybe I'd be smarter if I played dumb
[Chorus]
A augmentedA E MajorE
I can't count all the times I've been had
B7B7
Now I know much better than to let that make me mad
A augmentedA E MajorE
I don't let none of that get me down
B7B7 E MajorE
From what I've found this town gets around
[Verse 3]
E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE
Now the very first manager I ever had, he was old enough he could have been my dad
B7B7
He took me out for drinks and talked a big talk
E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE
He said, "darling sign on the dotted line, kiss my cheek and drink this wine
B7B7 E MajorE
But if you walk on me, then you can just walk."
[Chorus]
A augmentedA E MajorE
I can't count all the times I've been had
B7B7
Now I know much better than to let that make me mad
A augmentedA E MajorE
I don't let none of that get me down
B7B7 E MajorE
From what I've found this town gets around
[Solo]
E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE
E B7B7
E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE
B7B7 E MajorE
[Verse 4]
E MajorE A augmentedA
When I first came here the streets were paved with gold and you can walk that road, I've been told
E MajorE A augmentedA
But I won't put out or be controlled, I don't write the shit that gets bought and sold
BB BB
Ask any man, he might know
BB BB
Who used to live on Music Row
BB
But that was then, and this is now
E MajorE
He told me this town gets around
B7B7 E MajorE
