G                               C
Something about the way you told me
   G                        C
reminded me of a different story
  G                                                 D
about the last good one that got away.
G                           C
She got upset and grabbed a knife,
G                   C
forcing me to step outside
    G                                                 D
of everything I had known before today.
                   C                                      G                        D

If everything has changed, then why do I feel the same?

G                    C
I grew up and left the town.
  G                               C
I left that scene buried underground
       G                                                       D
and became the man I always thought I'd be….
G                     C
Playing on the tallest stages,
      G                          C
the wine, the women, and the wages…
      G                                      D
But even with all of that I was lonely.
                   C                                       G                        D

G                     C

A hangover and a shady witness.

The Delta Blues were singing to the Lord.
           G                     C
I said, "Jesus, can you rescue me?
      G                                     C
I've had too much wine and I cannot see…
  G                                                   D
I really hope that you ain't keeping score…"
