Intro:
Em7 G6 A7sus4
Verse 1:
She said Em7Andy you're beG6tter than yoA7sus4ur past,
Em7winked at me and G6drained her A7sus4glass,
cross-Em7legged on the G6barstool, like A7sus4nobody sits anyEm7more G6 A7sus4
She said Em7Andy you're G6taking me A7sus4home,
but I Em7knew she G6planned to sleep aA7sus4lone
I'd Em7carry her to G6bed and A7sus4sweep up the hair from the Em7floor G6 A7sus4
Chorus:
If I had Cadd9fucked her before Dsus2she got sick
I'd G6never Dsus2/F#hear the Em7end of it
Cadd9she don't have the Dsus2spirit for that Em7now
We Cadd9drink these drinks and Dsus2laugh out loud,
G6bitch aDsus2/F#bout the Em7weekend crowd,
and Cadd9try to ignore the Dsus2elephant someEm7how G6 A7sus4
someEm7how G6 A7sus4
Verse2:
She said Em7Andy you G6crack A7sus4me up,
Em7Seagram's in a G6coffee A7sus4cup,
sharecEm7ropper eyes G6and her A7sus4hair almost allEm7 gone G6 A7sus4
When she Em7was drunk G6she made A7sus4cancer jokes,
she made Em7up her G6own doctor's A7sus4notes,
surEm7rounded by her G6family, A7sus4I saw that she was dying alEm7one G6 A7sus4
Chorus:
I'd Cadd9sing her classic Dsus2country songs
and G6she'd getDsus2/F# high and Em7sing along
Cadd9She don't have much Dsus2voice to sing with Em7now
We'd Cadd9burn these joints in Dsus2effigy,
G6cry aDsus2/F#bout what we Em7used to be,
and Cadd9try to ignore the Dsus2elephant someEm7how G6 A7sus4
Em7Somehow
Chorus:
I Cadd9buried her a Dsus2thousand times,
givG6ing up Dsus2/F#my place Em7in line,
Cadd9but I don't give a Dsus2damn about that Em7now
There's Cadd9one thing that's real Dsus2clear to me,
G6no one Dsus2/F#dies with Em7dignity
We just Cadd9try to ignore the Dsus2elephant someEm7how G6 A7sus4
We just Cadd9try to ignore the Dsus2elephant someEm7how G6 A7sus4
We just Cadd9try to ignore the Dsus2elephant someEm7how G6 A7sus4
