Without You by Luke Combs
Without You
Tuning: Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb
It is best to play this song with the B and Hi E strings locked with your
ring and pinky fingers on the 3rd fret like so:
G - 3 2 0 0 3 3
C - 0 3 2 0 3 3
D - 2 0 0 2 3 3
Em - 0 2 2 0 3 3
Personal preference to wrap the thumb around and get the 2nd fret of the low E on
the D chord, but it sounds good either way.

[Verse 1]
G
Dad sold every record he ever owned
C
Floyd and Zeppelin, Beatles, Stones
G C
A lifetime of music gone, just to get me through
G
Mama always had her second job

Gone with the sun 'til six o'clock

Whatever it took to get by, she was gonna do

Without them, I wouldn't be me
[Chorus]

When I'm up here on this stage
C G
the spotlight's on my face, but I see you
G
Sure it's me behind this mic stand
C
It's me strummin' this Gibson
Em D C
It's me they love to give the credit to
Em D G C
But me don't mean a thing, without you
[Verse 2]
G
You made sacrifices, night and day
C
Never hear the crowd scream your name
G C
Just a smile, and a hand to hold when the show is through
G
I'd give all up just to keep your love
C
But you wouldn't let me 'cause you care too much
G C
By watchin' me watch my dreams all come true
[Chorus]

You worked overtime, to buy those tickets
C
The gas, the beer, and the babysitters
G C
Just to spend one night with your baby at a country show
G
You paid twenty damn dollars for a place to park
C
Got in line early to grab your spot
G C
And you deserved every word, every line of your favorite tunes
[Chorus]
G
When I'm up here on this stage

It's me they love to give the credit to

And I'm just tryin' to give the credit where credit's due
Em D G C
'Cause me don't mean a thing, without you
G
Without you
