[Main Riff]
He said, 'fuck this' and 'fuck that'
and this guy's the diplomat
stares into the blur of the tuner lights
It can't be Nashville every night

He said, 'we are what we lack'
and this guy's the autodidact
stares into the glare of them TV lights
It can't be Nashville every night

          A     E/G#
with its' la la oh oh ohs,
E             B
whoa-ohs and yeahs.
A        E
la las, whoa-ohs and
B
yeahs

[Main Riff]
He sang, 'I'll die before I quit'
and this guy's the limit
stares into the queer of the firefight
It can't be Nashville every night


           A    G#m
With its' lala oh oh ohs
E            B
whoa-ohs and yeahs
A       E
la las, whoa-ohs and
B
yeahs.

A       E

E        B
         yeahs.
