Tom: A
E Bm
You got this town on lockdown
A E Bm
You hung your name on everything
A
Every street, every corner, every mile
E Bm
And everywhere I turn
A E Bm D A E
Every memory burns like wildfire, like wildfi----re
[Chorus]
D A Bm
And if that moon's out over Nashville
D A E
Well I've been looking for a getaway
D E F#m Bm
And if it's true that whiskey washes blues away
E E F#m
Then tonight I'll make my great escape
D E A
Tell the cowboys I'm on my way
[Verse 2]
E Bm
You piled your promises sky high
A E Bm
And now they're falling down around me
A
Like snow, like hail, like rain
E Bm
I'm drowning in your lies
A E
Praying for a turn of the t-ide
Bm D E D
Wishing I could fly, that I could fly away
[Chorus]
A Bm
And if that moon's out over Nashville
D A E
Well I've been looking for a getaway
D E F#m Bm
And if it's true that whiskey washes blues away
D E F#m
Then tonight I'll make my great escape
D E E Bm
Tell the cowboys I'm on my way
[Bridge]
E A D Bm
Opportunity never laid a knock on my door
E A D Bm
And all that I had, I've had to battle for
E A D Bm7 Bm
They say that life is paved by whatever road you choose
E
So what have I got to lose?
[Interlude]
D
[Chorus]
A Bm7 Bm
I think I'll head on down to Nashville
D D A D
See I've been looking for a getawa-y
E F#m Bm D
And if it's true that whiskey can wash these blues away
E F#m D
Then tonight I'll make my great escape
E F#m
Tell the cowboys I'm on my way
[Outro]
D E F#m Bm
I think tonight I'll make my great escape
D E D E A
Tell the cowboys I'm on my way
