[Intro]
|G |D |C |C
[Verse 1]
G C G
Don't waste your life behind that guitar
C
You may get gone, but you won't get far
G C G
You're not the first, you won't be the last
C
And you can tell us all about it when you come crawling back
Em D
That road you're on, just winds and winds
C
Your spinning your wheels and wasting you're time
[Chorus 1]
G C G
But when the lights come up and I hear the band
C
And where they said I'd never be is exactly where I am
Em D
I hear the crowd, I look around
C G D
And I can't find an empty chair, not bad for a girl goin' nowhere
[Verse 2]
G C G
I get these calls, out on the road
C
Heard your song on my radio
G C G
We always said you'd make it big
C
And I tell all my friends, I knew you back when
Em D
So don't for- get all us little folks
C
And when you crash and burn, remember we told you so
[Chorus 2]
G C G
And then the lights come up and I hear the band
C
And where they said I'd never be is exactly where I am
Em D
I hear the crowd, I look around
C G
And I can't find one empty chair, not bad for a girl goin' no- where
[Solo]

[Bridge]
Em D C
I need to thank my daddy for that first set of strings
G D
And all those folks who swore I'd never be anything
Em D C
It took a whole lot of yes I wills and I don't care
Em D C
A whole lot of basement dives and county fairs
[Outro]
Em D C
To this show right now and y'all sure look good out there
C D Em
Not bad for a girl goin' nowhere
C D G
Not bad for a girl goin' nowhere
