[Verse]
C G Am
Packin' that bag you unpacked yesterday
G F
Watchin' the world through the windowpane
C Dm7
From the second row of the ten-man van
G C
That you've been calling home
G Am
It ain't quite the life you dreamed about
G F
When Momma calls and you miss out
C Dm7 G
'Cause you're on stage at a damned ole one-off show
[Chorus]
F
They tell you 'bout the old guitars
C G/B
The songs that bought the house and cars
Am7 G Am7
And how your hometown's proud of where you are
C G/B Am7
F A
And your name up on the marquee sign
C G/B
But not the dark that comes to find you
F C Dm7
Every single time the lights go down

[Verse]
C G Am
You try to dry her eyes, from a thousand miles apart
G F
And hope that Band-Aid on her heart
C Dm7 G
Sticks just long enough for you to make it home
C G Am7
She feels like she comes in second place
G F
To plaques on walls and long highways
C Dm7 G
She needs something more than words to hold on to
[Chorus]
F
They tell you 'bout the old guitars
C G/B
The songs that bought the house and cars
Am G
And how your hometown's proud of where you are
F
And they tell you 'bout the girls you'll get
C G/B
But not the one you're gonna miss
F C Dm7
While they scream your name again in some small town

[Break]
Am7 G
When you're doing it all right
F
And man it still feels wrong
Dm7
Breakin' her damn heart
G
Chasing these damn songs
F
Thinking man it ain't that hard
C G
Strum some chords on that old guitar
Am7
Do some shots in a smokey bar
G
And everybody knows your name
[Chorus]
F
Till they're changing out the marquee sign
C G
Then that darkness comes to find you
F C Dm7
And everyone's gone home and the lights go down
