Tennessee Lyrics

If you want to play with a capo, slap it on the 8th fret, it starts on Am
i was on my lunch break; i almost started crying / for the boy at the top of the bridge
he didn't jump, but if he had, he wouldn't be the only one / who thought that he had to give in
and you said you didn't have it all that bad / and i said i didn't have it all that bad
but i snuck off to parking lots and playgrounds after dark / my parents' basement while they were
asleep
i didn't talk with a lisp; i dressed like all the straight boys did / i didn't talk about who i had
kissed
F D# C# G# F G# D# x2
and now you don't really have it all that bad / and now i don't really have it all that bad
but i don't kiss you at the grocery store / and i don't kiss you at the library
i don't kiss you at the rest stop off the interstate / and i don't kiss you at my parents'
house when they are not asleep
F C C# G# A# x2
i was on my lunch break; i almost started crying / ?cause it really does get better if you wait
and there are times now when i still feel afraid / but gone are the times when i feel ashamed
and so for all the kids that really have it pretty bad / for all the kids that never had the chance
maybe i should kiss you at the grocery store / and maybe i should kiss you at the library
maybe i should kiss you at my parents' house / and maybe i should kiss you at the movies
maybe i should kiss you when we go out to dinner / and maybe i should kiss you every night before i
fall asleep
and maybe i should kiss you at the rest stop off the interstate on the border of georgia and tennessee
