G D
On a childhood highway, through a night alone
Em A
I was barely breathing, I was crawling home
G D
Well it's not quite London, or the south of France
Em A G D/F# D/E
Or an Asian island, or a second chance.
D Em
Going back to Nashville, thinking about the whole thing
D/F# Gmaj7 G5
Guess you gotta run sometimes
Bm D
Maybe I'm a fast train rolling down a mountain
G A (2 measures)
Watching all my life go by.
G D
You're a distant memory, you're an exit sign
Em A
I was talking crazy on the driver's side
G D
And I know I hurt you, but I can't confess
Em A G D/F# D/E
Was that blood or a wine stain on your wedding dress?
D Em
Going back to Nashville, thinking about the whole thing
D/F# G
Guess you gotta run sometimes
Bm E7
Maybe I'm a fast train rolling down a mountain
G A
Watching all my life go by.
D Em
Going back to Nashville, laughing at a bad break
D/F# G
What's the use in wondering why?
Bm D
Maybe I'm a storm front blowing through the valley
G
Tearing up a good July.
A Em G
And it's safe and warm where nothing ever happens
A Bm A G
Would it be so hard to realign a star or two?
Bm A D
Change a southern night for you.
G D/F# D/A D
Well it's not quite evening, and it's not New York
Em A
There's a scar in the blue sky by the old airport
G D
And I'm talking crazy on the driver's side
Em D/F# G A
I will always love you like a long goodbye.
