Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
C E7 Am7 F

Verse 1:
C       E7                Am7
When I need to put my feet back on the ground
 F         C
I go back to my hometown
    E7          Am7
When I need a night to act my age
     F              C
Me and my friends stay out too late
      E7           Am7
And when I need to feel good in my skin
      F          C
I drop everything and run to him
       E7             Am7
When nothin' makes sense, but I need to talk
       F
That's when I call my mom

Chorus:
          C        E7
But I wanna write a country song
       Am7      F
When nothin's gentle on my mind
        C         E7
And I'm needin' somethin' strong
    Am7      F
And I'm almost out of wine
   C         E7
When I get so lonesome, my truth gets told some
 Am7         F
Whether it's right or wrong
       Dm7           Em
I stay up all night, done it my whole life
          F  Fm
Sometimes you gotta write  a country song

C E7 Am7 F

Verse 2:
C   E7            Am7
Got me through the drama with my ex
   F           C
The first time that I had sex
      E7             Am7
The day the word "divorce" got really real
         F
My first year in Nashville
       C               E7
Maybe it's 'cause of my raisin' or what my parents were playin'
     Am7             F
Or when I feel my heart breakin', no hesitation


Chorus:

         C        E7
I go and write a country song
       Am7      F
When nothin's gentle on my mind
        C         E7
And I'm needin' somethin' strong
    Am7      F
And I'm almost out of wine
   C         E7
When I get so lonesome, my truth gets told some
 Am7         F
Whether it's right or wrong
       Dm7           Em
I stay up all night, done it my whole life
          F  Fm
Sometimes you gotta write  a country song


Bridge:
C       E7                Am7
 'Bout love, 'bout lies, 'bout my baby's truck
      F
Real life, that's the stuff, yeah
C       E7              Am7
 First kiss, last call, bad breakin' ups
     F
My life, that's what


Chorus:
         C       E7
Makes me write a country song
        Am7     F
When nothin's gentle on my mind
         C        E7
And I'm needin' somethin' strong
   Am7      F
And now I'm out of wine
   C         E7
When I get so lonesome, my truth gets told some
Am7          F
Whether it's right or wrong
        Dm7        Em
Gets me every time, story of my life
          F  Fm
There ain't nothin' like  a country song


Outro:
C           E7              Am7
 ('Bout love, 'bout lies, 'bout my baby's truck)
         F

A country song
C         E7            Am7

(My life, that's what) Hey
