You walk in here with your guitar man
G

Your shining boots and your full on band

A smile on your face, a knife in your hand

C9
Singing songs you've got memorized
G

With whatever talent money buys
C9

So polished that it slips right through your hands

But don't worry yourself I ain't your competition

Don't flatter yourself that was never my intention

I wanna talk about what you are that I ain't

Let's talk about me and you and that empty room and who wins

I walk in here with a beat up case
G
A
The same guitar I've always played
D
C9
And the words I wrote down on a page,
G
A
When I was 12 years old and small town raised
D
C9
You tell the crowd you're paying dues,
G

I tell them, "this is what I do"
D

And it's what i put my life into,
G
A
As I breathe the smoke and cheap perfume

And say life on musical road is rough conditions

But the easy ride was never my ambition

Let's talk about your childhood days
G
A
You were the prom queen, I was on this stage
D
C9
So where's that crown gotten you these days?
G
A
When it's me and you and the same damn games
D
So what have you got that I ain't?
C9
And what can you do that I can't?
G
A

Let's put me and you in an empty room and see who wins
