Introduction:
D
You might call it sad confusion
G F#m Em
You might even call it off
A7 G D
But once you called me more than just your friend
D
Now there's more to what I'm thinkin'
G F#m E7
Than the Mississippi line
A7 G D
And Tennessee is not the state I'm in
D
You call me up at midnight
G F#m E7
To explain your whereabouts
A7 D
I should've seen your love was coming to an end
D
And as you call from longer distances
G F#m Em
I began to have my doubts
A G D
Still, Tennessee is not the state I'm in
G D
No, Tennessee's not the state I'm in
Bm A
Satisfied is not the way I've been
D
I can feel my world turning
G F#m Em
As I watch the bottle spin
A G D
Still, Tennessee is not the state I'm in
D G D Em Em7 A G D
D
Well, I could stand out on that highway
G F#m Em7
Trying to make that Nashville scene
A D
But I think I've stretched my luck a little thin
D
So I walk the streets of Memphis
G F# Em7
But I'll have you understand
A G D
That Tennessee is not the state I'm in
G D
No, Tennessee's not the state I'm in
Bm A
And down-to-earth is not the place I've been
D
I can feel my world turning
G F#m Em
As I watch the bottle spin
A G D
Still, Tennessee is not the state I'm in
A G D
No, Tennessee is not the state I'm in
A G D
