Intro: Cadd9 G A D
Cadd9 G A D
verse 1:
D Cadd9
You walk in here with your guitar man
G A
Your shining boots and your full on band
Caddd9 D
A smile on your face, a knife in your hand
Cadd9 G A D
D Cadd9
Singing songs you've got memorized
G A
With whatever talent money buys
Cadd9 D
So polished that it slips right through your hands
Pre-Chorus
Cadd9 G D
But don't worry yourself I ain't your competition
Cadd9 G A
Don't flatter yourself that was never my intention
D
I wanna talk about what you are that I ain't
Cadd9
Let's talk about what you do that I can't
G A D
Let's talk about me and you and that empty room and who wins
D
Let's talk about what you did to get here
Cadd9
Let's talk about blood and sweat and tears
G D
Let's talk about what you want to be and who I've always been
Cadd9 G A D
verse 2:
D Cadd9
I walk in here with a beat up case
G A
The same guitar I've always played
D Cadd9
And the words I wrote down on a page,
G A
When I was 12 years old and small town raised
D Cadd9
You tell the crowd you're paying dues,
G A
I tell them, "this is what I do"
D Cadd9
And it's what i put my life into,
G A
As I breathe the smoke and cheap perfume
Pre-Chorus
Cadd9 G D
And say life on musical road is rough conditions
Cadd9 G A
But the easy ride was never my ambition
D
I wanna talk about what you are that I ain't
Cadd9
Let's talk about what you do that I can't
G A D
Let's talk about me and you and that empty room and who wins
D
Let's talk about what you did to get here
Cadd9
Let's talk about blood and sweat and tears
G D
Let's talk about what you want to be and who I've always been

Bridge:
D Cadd9
Let's talk about your childhood days
G A
You were the prom queen, I was on this stage
D Cadd9
So where's that crown gotten you these days?
G A
When it's me and you and the same damn games
D
So what have you got that I ain't?
Cadd9
And what can you do that I can't?
G A D
Let's put me and you in an empty room and see who wins
D
Let's talk about what you did to get here
Cadd9
Let's talk about blood and sweat and tears
G
Let's talk about who you want to be, girl
D
who I've always been
Cadd9 G A D
