 C                   G/B            Am
Packin' that bag you unpacked yesterday
              G                       F
Watchin' the world through the windowpane
                 C/E                Dm7
From the second row of the ten-man van
      G                   C
That you've been calling home

It ain't quite the life you dreamed about
When momma calls and you miss out
'Cause you're on stage at a damned ol' one-off show

Chorus:
      F
They tell you 'bout the old guitars
     C                     G/B
The songs that bought the house and cars
   Am7                        G
And  how your hometown's proud of where you are
          F
And your name up on the marquee sign
     C                 G/B
But not the dark that comes to find you
F             C                 Dm7
Every single time the lights go down
                  G                          C
Yeah, that's the part, they don't tell you about

You try to dry her eyes, from a thousand miles apart
And hope that Band-Aid on her heart
Sticks just long enough for you to make it home

She feels like she comes in second place
To plaques on walls and long highways
She needs something more than words to hold on to

Chorus:
They tell you 'bout the old guitars
The songs that bought the house and cars
And how your hometown's proud of where you are
And they tell you 'bout the girls you'll get
But not the one you're gonna miss
While they scream your name again in some small town
Yeah, that's the part, they don't tell you about

Am7                       G
When you're doing it all right
                          F
And man it still feels wrong
                   Dm7
Breakin' her damn heart
                     G
Chasing these damn songs

Chorus:
Thinkin', man, it ain't that hard
Strum some chords on that old guitar
Do some shots in a smokey bar
And everybody knows your name
'Til they're changing out the marquee sign
Then that darkness comes to find you
And everyone's gone home and the lights go down
Yeah, that's the part, they don't tell you about

They don't tell you about
