F#m A
The stars up here don’t burn as bright

Nothin seems the same

I wake up to the same old place

The fireflies dancin round

I’m back in that old town

In my heart I’m in Abilene

Bm D/F# G D
It’s you and me on a front porch swing

Watchin the sun go down
A D/F# G D
Can’t you feel the summer breeze
D Bm
Blowin through the grass so green
Bm Gm A
Though I’m sittin here in Tennessee

In my heart I’m in Abilene
Verse:
Lately when I talk to you
I can’t remember why I’m gone
But it don’t matter anyhow
I barely notice I’m not home
