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
