2. Love Like the Movies
Tuning: EADGBE
Tabbed By: Farting_bear
SGo you want to Dbe in love likGe the movies
But in Gthe movies they're Dnot in love at Gall
And with a Emtwinkle in their Deyes
BmThey're just saying their Clines
So we cGan't be in Dlove like the Gmovies
Now in the Bmmovies they Cmake it look so Gperfect
And in the Bmbackground they're Calways playing the right Gsong
And in the Bmending there's Calways a resolGution
ButBm real life is Cmore than just Gtwo Dhours Clong
So you Gwant to be in Dlove like the Gmovies
But in Gthe movies they're Dnot in love at Gall
And with a Emtwinkle in their Deyes
BmThey're just saying their Clines
So we cGan't be in Dlove like the Gmovies
Well you can Bmfreeze frame any Cmoment from a Gmovie
Or run the Bmwhole damn thing Cbackwards from reel to Greel
But I dBmon't see one single Csolitary light technGician
Or oBmne single Ccamera in this GmoonDlit Cfield
I don't Gwant to be in Dlove like the Gmovies
Cause in Gthe movies they're Dnot in love at Gall
With a Emtwinkle in their Deyes
BmThey're just saying their Clines
So we cGan't be in Dlove like the Gmovies

3. Sorry Man
Tuning: EADGBE
Tabbed By: Macheeoo
CYour mama Gdoesn't likeC me
She thinks I'm a CsorGry Fman
CWhen she tells her Gfriends aboutC me
She says I'm a CsorGry Fman
CAnd she asks you each day
GWhy would you Cstay with a sCorGry Fman
CWell I was doing my best
GJust trying to Cimpress, still a CsorGry Fman
GAnd I've got Cnews for your Fma
I'm the Gbest she Cever Fsaw
GNo one could Clove your dFaughterG like I Fdo
Your mama told you father
She said I'm a sorry man
So he told me not to ever
Come back here again
So I told your dear old daddy
That he can't keep us apart
Because it's you and not your parents
Who can break my heart
And I've got news for your ma
I'm the best she ever saw
No one could love your daughter like I do
Well I tried to tell your mama
But I didn't want to fight
Well they'll be the same tomorrow
So we're leaving here tonight
Tomorrow they'll be waking
To a sad sorry dawn
And then they'll be sorry
When they see that we're gone
Cause I've got news for your ma
I'm the best she ever saw
No one could love your daughter like I do

And Ghelps all peopleF when heG can
But me and God don'tF need a middle Cman
Now I found God in a soft woman's hair
A long days work and a good sittin chair
The ups and downs on the treble clef lines
And five miles to go on an interstate sign
CMy GGod Cmy GGod Cand GI
Don't Fneed a middle Cman
Now I found God in a soft woman's hair
A long days work and a good sittin chair
The ups and downs on the treble clef lines
And five miles to go on an interstate sign
Now I don't doubt that the Good Book is true
But what's right for me may not be right for you
So church on Sunday I stand beside
For all the hurtin people with the fear in their eyes
And I thank the Lord for the country land
And just like Paul I thank Him for my hands
But I don't know if my soul is saved
Cause sometimes I use curse words when I pray

GSomebody get my shotgun
CSomebody get my blade
GSally's been layin' with another man
And he'sD sleeping in my Gplace
GSomebody get my shotgun
Gonna Cshoot him sure as rain
You canG run as fast as you want to boy
I'll Dkill you just the Gsame
Somebody get my pocket blade
Gonna cut him don't you know
You can try to hide all you want to boy
There ain't nowhere to go
Somebody get my shotgun
Somebody get my blade
Sally's been layin' with another man
And he's sleeping in my place
Now Sally don't go thinkin'
That you got off so clean
I'd kill you too if I had the nerve
But I just ain't that mean
So I go and get my murder tools
I throw them in the lake
Gonna steal me an automobile
And drive so far away
Now I am a fugitive
I'm always on the run
Sally told the policeman
Exactly what I'd done
I went and got my shotgun
I went and got my blade
Killed poor Sally's lover
And I put him in the grave.
Now all you ramblin' fellas
You listen close to me
That woman gonna bring you pain
Your heart is gonna bleed
But it ain't worth the trouble
The sufferin' or the grief
A bleeding heart is better than the penitentiary
I killed Sally's lover
One dark and dreary day
Sally got another
And I got sent away
Somebody get my shotgun
Somebody get my blade
Sally's been laying with another man
And I set him in his grave
