Aaron Tippin - You Gotta Start Somewhere
CAPO: 3rd Fret
GEver since that night you walked out, I just ain't been the same ol' me
I've Dbarely had the strength to leave the couch to turn on my TGV
But a Gman can't hide away forever and last night I finally told me so
I Dknew I had to get out, but I knew I had to take it Gslow
CHORUS:
So I Cburned down this town, a honky tonk at a time
I got Gloud and checked out every cute little cowgirl 
I could Chold, getting over you is still a Glong ways away I Cswear
Last Gnight was one small step, Dbut you gotta start Gsomewhere
Think I feel a little better, a little more like the man I used to be
I ain't saying that I'm there yet, but I can see some possibilities
When your motor ain't been fired up lately, you can't just jam it in gear and go
I know I'm still not up to speed, but last night I had to test the road
CHORUS:
So I Cburned down this town, a honky tonk at a time
I got Gloud and checked out every cute little cowgirl 
I could Chold, getting over you is still a Glong ways away I Cswear
Last Gnight was one small step, Dbut you gotta start Gsomewhere
CHORUS:
So I Cburned down this town, a honky tonk at a time
I got Gloud and checked out every cute little cowgirl 
I could Chold, getting over you is still a Glong ways away I Cswear
Last Gnight was one small step, Dbut you gotta start Gsomewhere

Aaron Tippin - You Gotta Start Somewhere

CAPO: 3rd Fret

Ever since that night you walked out, I just ain't been the same ol' me

D G

I've barely had the strength to leave the couch to turn on my TV

But a man can't hide away forever and last night I finally told me so

D G

I knew I had to get out, but I knew I had to take it slow

CHORUS:

So I burned down this town, a honky tonk at a time

I got loud and checked out every cute little cowgirl

C G C

I could hold, getting over you is still a long ways away I swear

G D G

Last night was one small step, but you gotta start somewhere

Think I feel a little better, a little more like the man I used to be

I ain't saying that I'm there yet, but I can see some possibilities

When your motor ain't been fired up lately, you can't just jam it in gear and go

I know I'm still not up to speed, but last night I had to test the road

CHORUS:

So I burned down this town, a honky tonk at a time

I got loud and checked out every cute little cowgirl

C G C

I could hold, getting over you is still a long ways away I swear

G D G

Last night was one small step, but you gotta start somewhere

CHORUS:

So I burned down this town, a honky tonk at a time

I got loud and checked out every cute little cowgirl

C G C

I could hold, getting over you is still a long ways away I swear

G D G

Last night was one small step, but you gotta start somewhere
