A             E               D
They said, "Why you moved to Nashville?
Why you leaving home?
                 A
Why you chasing big dreams?
Why you making songs?
E                D
No one's gonna show up
You'll be all alone"
                A
But everybody showed up
Now they sing along

Chorus:
         E              D
If I'da listened to the odds, odds, odds
                        A
Woulda never made it through, through, through
       E                  D
Every time they told me stop, stop, stop
                               A
It was the last thing I would do, do, do
                        F#m          D
Instead I left it up to God, God, God
                            A
And I watched the mountain move, move, move
                        F#m             D
If I'da listened to the odds, odds, odds
                    A
I woulda never met you

I was from the West coast, you were Tennessee
The way your summer dress swayed in the summer
breeze
I know all my friends say you were out my league
Now every day I wake up with you next to me

Chorus

                   F#m D
I woulda never met you
                  A
Woulda never met you
                        F#m            D
If I'da listened to the odds, odds, odds
                    A
I woulda never met you

                        D
If I'da listened to the odds, never made it far
                       E
I found the Northern Star out of broken hearts
              D
Like runaway cars on the boulevard
                E
Maybe all the scars made us who we are
     D
And time it kept stalling for fate to come calling
      E
You start at rock bottom until you're free-falling
        D
If I'd made a U-turn instead of pushing through
          E
I woulda never, woulda never met you

Chorus

I woulda never met you
Woulda never met you
If I'da listened to the odds, odds, odds
I woulda never met you
