[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
Yeah (Real life, that's the stuff, yeah)
A country song
C                  E7                       Am7
(First kiss, last call, bad breakin' ups)

          F
(My life, that's what) Hey
End on C
