Nashville

A E D A E D A E D As I drive from your pearly gates I realize that I just can't stay. A E D All those mountains, they kept you locked inside and hid the truth E D from my slighted eyes. I came to you with a half-open heart dreams A upon my back, illusions of a brand new start. Nashville, can't I E D A carry the load? Is it my fault I can't reap what I sow? Nashville, E D did you give me half a chance with your southern style, and your A E D hidden dance away dance away, now you dance away A E All those voices, they whisper through my walls D They talk of falling fast, they say I'm losing it all A E They say I'm running blind to a love of my own D But I'll be walking proud I'm saving what I still own E I fell on my knees to kiss your land D But you are so far down, and I can't even see to stand A E Nashville, you forgot the human race D You see with half a mind what colors hide the face A E Nashville, I'd like to know your fate D I'd like to stay a while but I've seen your lowered state today A E D I've seen them today, honey I swear I've seen 'em today A E D A E D A E Now I'm leaving, I've got all these debts to pay D You know we all have our dues, I'll pay in some other place A E I'd never ask that you pay me back D We all arrive with more, I left with less than I had E Your town is made for people passing through D A last chance for a cause I thought I knew A E But Nashville, you tell me what you are gonna do D With all your Southern style, it'll never pull you through A E Nashville, I can't place no blame D A But if you forget my face, I'll never call your name again E D No, never again, no, never, never again E I fell on my knees to kiss your land D But you are so far down, and I can't even see to stand A E And Nashville, you forgot the human race D You see with half a mind what colors hide the face A E Nashville, I'd like to know your fate D A I'd like to stay a while but I've seen your lowered state today E D I've seen 'em today, honey, I swear I've seen 'em today A E D I'm running away, I'm running away, I'm running, I'm running, I'm A running away
