[Intro 1]
[A][D][A][D][G][D]
[A][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Well I left
Kansas for
[G]Tenness[D]ee
The day my past started catching [A]up with [D]me
I spent a little time down in
[G]Texas [Bm]too
But I [D]can[G]'t go back without
[A]thinking about [D]you
I've been feeling like a lonely cold [G]45[D]
Like a reckless soul just trying [A]to sur[D]vive
Yet everything I loved went
[G]up in [Bm]smoke
Now [D]I'm living [G]off of whiskey
and a little [A]bit of [D]hope
So here's to [G]you
And here's to [Bm]me
Here's [D]to everything that wasn't
quite [G]meant to [D]be
Here's to leaving
Kansas for
[A]Tennessee[D][G][D][A][D]
Well, you said you couldn't
love a [G]flatland [D]heart
So you headed down south
to get a [A]brand new [D]start
Like [A]a praye[D]r in the wind
that slowly [G]drifted [Bm]east
Oh, baby, [A]tried [G]to put myself
together again [A]piece by [D]piece
Oh, but there's a difference in
leavin' and [G]goin' for [D]good
I wouldn't stay away
forever even [A]if I [D]could
And you know
Memphis ain't as [G]scary as you [Bm]think
Even if [A]you're choking [G]on a
smoke and drowning [A]in a [D]drink
So here's to [G]you
And here's to [Bm]me
Here's [A]to [D]everything that wasn't
quite [G]meant to [D]be
Here's to leaving
Kansas for
[A]Tennessee[D]
Come on, [A]man.[D][G][D]
[A][D][G][D]
[A][D]
Here's to [G]you, here's [Bm]to me
Here's [D]to everything that wasn't
quite [G]meant to [D]be
Here's to leaving
Kansas [A]for
[D]Tennessee
Here's to you and I sitting
[A]each [G]other fre[Bm]e
It's [D]delayed in
Kansas for
[A]Tenness[D]ee
[G][A][D]
