Album: Home Again
F# G#m
Here I am in Music City
G#m F#
It's my time to shine
F# G#m
It's just this song it doesn't fit me
G#m F#
Now I'm losing my mind
A#m D#m
If only they told me I'd be so lonely
G#m C#
How I long for a song just to set me free
F# G#m
Here I am in a Music City
G#m F#
They say I'm doing just fine
F# G#m
Well I'm running on empty
G#m F#
I guess they'll leave me behind
F# G#m
When I'm lost they'll forget me
G#m F#
Won't be coming to find me
A#m D#m
My mother telling me who they think I should be
G#m C#
How I long for a song just to set me free
F# G#m
Here I am in Music City
G#m F#
They say I'm doing just fine
B
Think I can make it now I'm nearly through
C#
Lord I just don't know what else to do
F# G#m
I'm crying out for a life line
B
Hey you know I'd give it to you
C#
Trying so hard just to be true
F# G#m B C#
Hey, I really need one more song come and set me free
F# G#m
No more leaving Music City
G#m F#
it's my battle to fight
F# G#m
So I'll stay here in Music City
G#m F#
I'll try with all of my might
A#m
Won't get the best of me
D#m
Just you wait and you'll see
G#m
I'll be singing my song
C#
I'll be flying free
F# G#m
Here I am in Music City
G#m F#
And I'm doing just fine

chords 7ths or other.
Note2: the G#m chord sometimes switches to the 7th before going back to F#
