Chords for Ashley McBryde - Girl Goin' Nowhere (Grand Ole Opry Debut - June, 16 2017)

[N] _ _ _ _ Lord have mercy.
Well, we wrote a song about a year and a half ago, especially [A] for this moment.
And if I make it through without crying, [F] that'll just be a miracle, I'll tell you that right now.
[B] _ _ _ _
_ [F#] _ _ I was in high school and somebody [B] asked me, was a teacher of [E] mine, and _ [G#m] asked me what I wanted to do when [B] I grew up.
And first point of business is don't grow up.
I mean, you know. _
[E] And I said, [F#] I want to move to Nashville and write songs [B] and sing them. _
[A#] And she said, that's stupid.
That'll never happen.
_ I'm not lying to you folks.
[B] And she said, you'd [A#m] better have a really good [F#] backup plan.
And _ well, _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ don't waste your life _ behind that guitar.
_ _ You may get [E] gone, but you won't get far. _ _
You're not the [B] first.
It won't be the last.
_ _ You can tell us all [E] about it.
You come crawling [G#m] back that road you're on.
_ Just winds and [F#] winds. _
You're spinning your [E] wheels. _ _
Wasting your time.
_ _ _ [B] When the lights come up.
_ And I hear the band.
[E] And where they said I'd never be is exactly where I am.
I [G#m] hear the crowd.
And _ _ _ _ _ _ I look [F#] around and I can't find an empty [G#m] chair. _
_ Not bad for a girl [B] going nowhere.
_ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ And now I [B] get these calls out on the road.
_ _ I heard your [G#m] song [E] on my radio. _ _
[B] You always said _ you'd make it big.
And I tell all my friends _ [E] that I knew you back when.
[G#m] _ So don't forget _ all of [F#] us little folks.
_ And when you crash and [E] burn, _ remember we told you so.
_ _ [B] But then the lights come up.
And I hear the band.
_ _ _ _ _ That's a hard line. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ And I step into this [E] circle [B] with a Gibson in my hand.
I [E] _ _ _ [G#m] _
hear the crowd.
_ And I look [F#]
around and I can't find an empty chair.
_ [B] _ _
_ Not [F#] bad for a girl [B] going nowhere. _
_ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Well [G#m] I need to thank my daddy.
[F#]
For that purse set of [E] strings.
_ [B] And all those folks who swore I'd [F#] never be anything.
It [G#m] took a whole lot of yes I [F#] wills and I don't [B] care.
A _ [G#m] whole lot of basement dives and county _ [B] fairs.
_ To [G#m] this show right now and y'all sure look good out there.
_ [B] _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
[B] Not bad for a girl [G#m] going nowhere. _ _ _
[F#] Not bad for a girl.
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C#m] _
_ _ [G#m] _ _ [F#] _ _ _ [A#] _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ [F#] _ _ [D] _
