D


[Verse 1]
    D
You don't know why, you can't make it stop
         G
You were hooked with your daddy's hand-me-down flat top
    D                                        G
The first time that you made your first love cry
        D
And the words you wrote were running from her eyes
G
Down on the paper, made you feel so alive
       D                                                G
So you packed up your pickup and crossed that Tennessee line


[Chorus 1]
              G
You're always searching for a little something different to say
       Bm
In the Bible, from a woman who's standing on the stage
        G                                         D D/C# A
You get told you fit in, you get told you don't belong
              G
You drink too much in a smokey little bar downtown
        Bm
Stumble home when it's time to throw in the towel
     G                                             D D/C# A
Wake up in the morning, look out, and the sunlight hurts
          Bm                             G
Find your old guitar, write down another verse
                         D      G
In the land of a million songs


[Verse 2]
     D
Everybody's got a story that needs to be sold
         G
And they pray someday they'll hang a little gold
    D                                                G
And ride back to their hometown with their head held high
       D
On any given day, there's a dream, there's a chance
     G
That lightning will strike at the end of a pen
            D                                          G
And all the leaving, and losing, will all be worth the fight


[Chorus 2]
              G
You're always searching for a little something different to say
       Bm
In the Bible, from a woman who's standing on the stage
        G                                         D D/C# A
You get told you fit in, you get told you don't belong
              G
You take that loading dock job just to pay the rent
    Bm
You learn a few things from them hard-working men
    G                                         D D/C# A
You listen to 'em laugh and you listen to 'em curse
              Bm                                G
You find your old guitar and write down another verse

In the land of a million songs

[Solo}

[Bridge]
D                            G
Some will come and some will go
             D                                  G
If you don't lay it all out there, you'll never know


[Chorus 1]
              G
You're always searching for a little something different to say
       Bm
In the Bible, from a woman who's standing on the stage
        G                                         D D/C# A
You get told you fit in, you get told you don't belong
              G
You drink too much in a smokey little bar downtown
        Bm
Stumble home when it's time to throw in the towel
     G                                             D D/C# A
Wake up in the morning, look out, and the sunlight hurts
          Bm                             G
Find your old guitar, write down another verse
