[Verse 1]

C                      Am   G
Pour out your heart in 3:20
    C              Am         G 
The one you didn't write for the money
C               Am          G    F
You turn it in, nobody's listening
C                         Am    G
But you got a cut, so the check's coming
C                        Am      G
If it ain't a single, it don't mean nothing
C                 Am           G       F
Every girl with a dream wants to be your friend


[Chorus]

F                   Am       G
One day, you're the king, the next you're not
F                   Am           G
It's handshakes and whiskey shots, boy
    F              Am          G          F
And throwing up in parking lots all by yourself
    F                     Am G
But you ain't never leaving Nashville
F                     Am G    F
I ain't never leaving Nashville
 

[Verse 2]

C                         Am  G
Now you're getting calls from old friends
           C                       Am   G      
They say, "heard your song – wanna write again?"
C                     Am       G           F
You're coming up with brand new ways to say no
            C          Am       G
And now you're six months without a hold
C                       Am     G
Every other day, you're getting canceled
C                       Am                   G      F
Now you're calling up old friends; that's just the way it goes


[Chorus 2]

F                   Am       G     
One day, you're the king, the next you're not
F               Am         G
It's handshakes and whiskey shots, boy
F                  Am          G           F
And throwing up in parking lots up on the hill
      F                           Am     G
Well, i ain't never leaving Nashville
F                     Am     G      F
I ain't never leaving Nashville
F                     Am     G      F
I ain't never leaving Nashville
F                     Am     G      F
I ain't never leaving Nashville


[Bridge]

  F                     Am     G      F
Oh, and your friends are friends with country stars
  F                     Am     G      F
Yeah, they're buying homes and here you are
  F                     Am     G      F       
You're two weeks from sleeping in your car

F                           Am    G
But you ain't never leaving Nashville
F                       Am     G    F
You ain't never leaving Nashville
F                       Am     G    F
You ain't never leaving Nashville
F                       Am     G    F
You ain't never leaving Nashville

[Chorus]

F                        Am       G
One day, you're the king, the next you're not
F              Am         G
It's handshakes and whiskey shots, boy
F              Am         G                F
And throwing up in parking lots all by yourself

F                     Am     G
I ain't never leaving Nashville
F                     Am    G
I ain't never leaving Nashville
