A                                       Bm
Nashville nights are lonely signs that point to broken hearts
  D               A             G               E
Broken lives and families that love has split apart
  A                       Bm
Children who miss Daddy, Mommys on the run
      D               A           G               E
The pleasure that is painful and hidden from the sun

 A                                       Bm
Nashville hearts are lonely words that speak of love gone wrong
 D                A          G              E
Sad and soulful stories and beautiful love songs
     A                        Bm
For each and ev'ry melody of happiness denied
      D                 A                G              E
You know that there's another one that shows the other side

 A               D             A            /
Country love is kisses in the kitchen
 A               D                A            /
Country love is honest and it's true
 A               D                  A            /
Country love is home and with your fam'ly

Country love is silky nights and warm familiar hands
 Bm                                 G             E
Someone whose been there before and always understands

 A                                      Bm
Nashville nights are lonely roads that we ve all travelled on
     D                   A            G                 E
Sometimes they take you far away or they can bring you home
           A                               Bm
If you re lost out on the highway, do not deny the dove
      D                     A           G                 E
When Nashville night's the question the answer's country love
