verse 1 

        G                 D 
I pour my heart out, three minutes at a time 
               Am 
On a J-45, but no one's listening 
                                    D 
They're too busy drinking on the company tab 
           G                    D 
I scream my lungs out, confess my secrets, all my sins 
    Am 
But they don't give a damn 
              C 
Cause if it don't sound like the radio? Pass 


 Am         D 
Nashville, you win 
        G                   D                Cadd9 
Your steel guitars and broken hearts have done me in 
    Am         D              G            D 
I gave you my soul, 'cause I wanted it so bad 
                Cadd9 
And now I just wanna go home 
                 Am 
This town is killing me 
               D              G 
This town is killing me 

verse 2 
                  G 
They buried my grandad without me 
  D 
Cause I was out on the road at some one off show 
   Cadd9 
In Tubalo, and I can't take that one back 
           G                D 
I was in love once and I pushed him away 
                           Cadd9 
And the price I pay is a whole lot of lonely nights 
                                     D 
And a whole lot of songs that never see the light 

 
   Am         D 
Nashville, you win 
       G                   D                Cadd9 
Your steel guitars and broken hearts have done me in 
       Am     D               G            D 
I gave you my soul, 'cause I wanted it so bad 
                Cadd9 
And now I just wanna go home 
                Am 
This town is killing me 
                 D 
This town is killing me 
                 Am 
Oh this town is killing 
                  D                    G 
This town is killing me 

Outro 
   Am        D 
Nashville, you win 
              G               D          Cadd9 
Cause I'll wake up here tomorrow, do it all over again 
                       Am 
Even though you're killing me 
                   D 
Oh, this town is killing me 
                  Am 
This town is killing me
