North Dakota Boy

[A]I say how [D]could this [A]be
[A]I left her back in T[D]ennessee
And [A]there's a thousand [D]miles between
And [A]I'm goin' [D]outta my h[A]ead
But I [A]can't take back the [D]words I said
[A]Just to fill her [D]empty bed[A]
Said you can [D]drag me back to Nashville
But you'll [E]drag me back to Nashville [A]dead [D]

She wanted nothin' more in her life
Than to see her name in lights
So I came along for the ride
But there was just no end
Smokey bars and unpaid rent
Day job blues held by a thread
Oh you can drag me back to Nashville
But you'll drag me back to Nashville dead

North Da[F#m]kota boy in Tennessee
That s[D]ingin' town it got the best of [A]me, oh [E]ya
Well I [F#m]lost my love to the dream
[D]Lookin' back I lost a part of [E]me, and so I said
You can [D]drag me back to Nashville
But you'll [E]drag me back ot Nashville [A]dead    [D]         [A]

[A]I say how [D]could this [A]be

Oh you can [D]drag me back to Nashville
But you'll [D]drag me back to Nashville [A]dead  [D]     [A]        [D]
North D[A]akota boy in T[D]ennesse  [A]      [D]
[A]I say how c[D]ould this [A]be    [D]
