Having ourselves a big and rich time |

Of my c | owboy reputation |

Had me b | egging for salvation |

So I | took her out giggin’ frogs |
| A |
Introd | uced her to my old bird dog |
| E | A |
And | sang her every Wilie Nelson song I could | think of |
And we made love

And I | saddle up my horse |

And I | ride into the city |

And when the coffee is | gone you’ll get back in your | car |

Ever since I was little, ever since I was little it looked like fu | n |
| F |
And it’s no coincidence I’ve co | me |
| Esus4 | E |
And I can die when I’m d | one | |
Am | G |
Now and t | hen I think of |
Am | G | Am | G | Am | G |
When we | were toge | ther | | | |
Am | G |
Like when you | said you felt so |
Am | G | Am | G | Am | G |
Happy yo | u could di | e | | | |
Am | G | Am | G |
Told mys | elf that you were | right for | me |
Am | G | Am | G |
But felt so | lonely in your | company | |
Am | G |
But that was | love and it’s an |
Am | G | Am | G | Am | G |
Ache I st | ill remem | ber | | | |
Am | G |
You can get ad | dicted to a |
Am | G | Am | G | Am | G |
Certain | kind of s | adness | | | |
Am | G | Am |
Like resign | ation to the | end |
G | Am | G | Am | G |
Always the | end | | | |
Am | G | Am | G |
So when we | found that we could | not make | sense |
Am | G | Am | G |
Well you | said that we would | still be fr | iends |
Am | G |
But I’ll ad | mit that I was |
Am | G | Am | G | Am | G |
Glad that | it was o | ver | | | |
Am | G | F | G |
But you | didn’t have to | cut me | off |
Am | G | F |
Make out | like it never | happened |
| G | Am |
And that | we were not | hing |
| G | F | G |
And | I don’t even | need your | love |
| Am | G |
But you | treat me like a | stranger |
| F | G |
And that | feels so | rough |
Am | G | F | G |
No you d | idn’t have to st | oop so | low |
Am | G | F |
Have your fr | iends collect your | records |
| G | Am |
And then | change your n | umber |
| G | F | G |
I g | uess that I don’t | need that | though |
Am | G | F | G |
Now you’re just someb | ody that I | used to | know |
Am | G | F | G |
Am | G | F | G |
Now you’re just someb | ody that I | used to | know |
Am | G | F | G |
Am | G | F | G |
Now you’re just someb | ody that I | used to | know |
Am | G |
Now and | then I think of |
Am | G | Am | G | Am | G |
All the times you scr | ewed me o | ver | | | |
Am | G |
But had me bel | ieving it was |
Am | G | Am | G | Am | G |
Always something | that I’d d | one | | | |
G |
And I don’t wanna live that way |
G |
Reading into every word you say |
G |
You said that you could let it go |
G |
And I wouldn’t catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know |
Am | G | F | G |
But you | didn’t have to | cut me | off |
Am | G | F |
Make out | like it never | happened |
| G | Am |
And that | we were no | thing |
| G | F | G |
And | I don’t even | need your | love |
| Am | G |
But you | treat me like a | stranger |
| F | G |
And that | feels so | rough |
Am | G | F | G |
No you d | idn’t have to st | oop so | low |
Am | G | F |
Have your fr | iends collect your | records |

And then | change your n | umber |

No, I | don’t need no designer tag |
To make my man want me

You might think I’m trashy, a little too hard-core |

But | in my neck of the woods, I’m just the girl next door |

Emaj9 | Amaj9 |
Welcome to the real world, she | said to me |
| C#m11 |
Condescendingly, | take a seat, take your life |
Em11 |
Plot it out in black and white |
| Emaj9 | Amaj9 |
Well I | never lived the dreams of the | prom kings |

I wanna | run through the | halls of my | high school |
| Amin9 | D7 | Emaj9 |
I wanna | scream at the t | op of my | lungs |
| Amin9 | D7 | Emaj9 |
I just found | out there’s no such | thing as the | real world |
| Amin9 | D7 | Emaj9 |
Just a | lie you’ve got to | rise a | bove |
Emaj9 | Amaj9 |
So the good boys and girls take the | so called right track |
| C#m11 |
Faded white hats grabbing | credits and maybe transfers |
| Em11 |
They | read all the books but they can’t find the answers |
Emaj9 | Amaj9 |
And all of our parents they’re getting | older |
| C#m11 |
I wonder if they’ve wished for anything | better |
| F#7 |
While in their memories tiny | tragedies |
| A2 | Aadd11 | Add9 | Amaj9 |
They | love | to | tell | you |
A2 | Aadd11 | Add9 | Amaj9 | Emaj9 |
Stay | in | side | the lines | |

I just can’t | wait till my | ten year re | union |
| Amin9 | D7 | Emaj9 |
I’m gonna | bust down the | double doors | |

And when I | stand on these | tables be | fore you |

This | clock never | seemed so | alive |
| Am |
It starts with | one thing I don’t know why |
| G |
It | doesn’t even matter how hard you try |
F |
Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme |
| Am |
All I kno | w, time is a valuable thing |
G |
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings |
F |
Watch it count down to the end of the day |
| G |
The clock t | icks life away |
| Am |
It’s so unr | eal, didn’t look out below |
G |
Watch the time go right out the window |
F |
Trying to hold on, but ya didn’t even know |
| G |
Or | wasted it all just to |
| Am |
Watch you | go, I kept everything inside |
| G |
And even t | hough I tried, it all fell apart |
F |
What it meant to me will eventually be |
| G |
A memor | y of a time when |
| Am | C |
I tried so | hard and got so | far |

But in the | end it doesn’t even | matter |

I had to | fall to lose it | all |

But in the | end it doesn’t even | matter |
Am |
One thing, I don’t know why |

It | doesn’t even matter how hard you try |
F |
Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme |

I tried so | hard, in spite of the way you were mocking me |
G |
Acting like I was part of your property |
F |
Remembering all the times you fought with me |
G | Am |
I’m surprised it got so ( | far) |
Am |
Things aren’t the way they were before |
G |
You wouldn’t even recognize me anymore |
F |
Not that you knew me back then but |
| G |
It a | ll comes back to me |
| Am |
In the | end you kept everything inside |
| G |
And even | though I tried, it all fell apart |
F |
What it meant to me will eventually be |

A memor | y of a time when |
| Am | C |
I tried so | hard and got so | far |

But in the | end it doesn’t even | matter |
| Am | C |
I had to | fall to lose it | all |
| G | F |
But in the | end it doesn’t even | matter |
| Am | G |
I’ve put my | trust in | you |

Pushed as | far as I can g | o |

There’s only | one thing you should | know | |

I’ve put my | trust in | you |

Pushed as | far as I can | go |

There’s only | one thing you should | know | |

A different side of me

Kept on the inside and no sunlight |

Sometimes a shadow wins |

| Em |
On a | long and lonesome highway east of Omaha |
| D |
You can | listen to the engine, moanin’ out its one note song |
| A | Em |
You can | think about the woman, or the girl you knew the night | before |
| Em |
And your | thoughts will soon be wandering the way they always do |
| D |
When you’re | riding sixteen hours and there’s nothing much to do |
| A | Em |
You | don’t feel much like writing, you just wish the trip was through | |
| D | Em |
But here I | am, on the | road again |
| D | Em |
Here I | am, up on | stage |
| D | A |
Here I | go, playing the | star again |
| C | D | Em |
There I | go, | turn the | page |
Em |
You walk into a restaurant, strung out from the road |
| D |
And you | feel the eyes upon you, as you’re shaking off the cold |
| A | Em |
You | pretend it doesn’t bother you, but you just want to | explode |
Em |
Sometimes you can hear ‘em talk, other times you can’t |
| D |
And it’s all the | same cliches is that a woman or a man |
| A | Em |
And you | always seem outnumbered, you don’t dare make a | stand |
| D | Em |
But here I | am, on the | road again |
| D | Em |
Here I | am, up on | stage |
| D | A |
Here I | go, playing the | star again |
| C | D | Em |
There I | go, | turn the | page |
Em |
Out there in the spotlight, you’re a million miles away |
D |
Every ounce of energy you try to give away |
| A | Em |
And the | sweat pours out your body like the music that you | play |
Em |
Later on that evening, as you lie awake in bed |
| D |
The | echoes of the amplifiers ringin’ in your head |
| A | Em |
And you | smoke the day’s last cigarette, remembering what she said | |
| D | Em |
But here I | am, on the | road again |
| D | Em |
Here I | am, up on | stage |
| D | A |
Here I | go, playing the | star again |
