    G
I met you when I had a dream
    D/F#
Not so long ago, it seems
     Am
We closed down a million bars
       C
Yeah, you and me, we've come so far
      G
You showed me how to write a song
     D/F#
We wrote some right, we wrote some wrong
       Am
I was down and out, you let me in
    C                            G/B Am
At times you were my only friend

Chorus:
          G
So long, Nashville, Tennessee
          D/F#
You can't have what's left of me
        Em
And as far as I can tell
           C
It's high time, I wish you well
             G
You build me up, you set me free
         D/F#
You tore down my memories
           Am
So you be you and I'll be me
          C
So long, Nashville, Tennessee

Now you won't miss me when I'm gone
You're custom made for movin' on
And time to time I'll pass you by
Face that I don't recognize
And who knows? Maybe years from now
You'll be the one I think about
But I just can't imagine that
'Cause I'm not one for lookin' back

Chorus

So long, Nashville, Tennessee
You can't have what's left of me
And as far as I can tell
It's high time, I wish you well
You build me up, you set me free
You tore down my memories
You're not who you used to be
So long Nashville, Tennessee
