[Intro]
C G F
[Verse 1]
C
Don’t waste your life behind that guitar
F
You may get gone but you won’t get far
C
You’re not the first and won’t be the last
F
You can tell us all about it when you come crawling back
Am G
That a road you’re on just winds and winds
F
You’re spinning your wheels wasting your time
[Chorus]
C
Then the lights come up and I hear the band
F
And Where they said I’d never be is exactly where I am
Am G F
I hear the crowd I look around and I can’t find one empty chair
C G
Not bad for a Girl Goin’ Nowhere.
[Verse 2]
C
I get these calls out on the road
F
I heard your song on my radio
C
We always said you’d make it big
F
I tell all my friends I knew you back when
Am G
So don’t forget all us little folks
F
When you crash and burn, remember we told you so
[Chorus]
C
Then the lights come up and I hear the band
F
And where they said I’d never be is exactly where I am
Am G F
I hear the crowd and look around and I can’t find one empty chair
C
Not bad for a Girl Goin’ Nowhere.
[Interlude]
G F C G F
[Bridge]
Am G F
I need to thank my daddy for that first set of strings
C G
And all those folks who swore I’d never be anything
Am G F
It took a whole lot of “yes I wills” and “I don’t cares”
Am G F
A whole lot of basement dives and County Fairs
Am G F
To this show right now and ya’ll sure look good out there.
Am C F
Not bad for a Girl Goin’ Nowhere, not bad for a Girl Goin’ Nowhere.
