[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
D G D G
[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
D G
