[Intro]
A F#m C#m E
A F#m
C#m E
Sing it with me, you shithead
[Verse 1]
A F#m C#m E
They say you know when you know, ooh
A F#m C#m E
What do you do when you don't?
A F#m C#m E
They say in love, it'll happen if it's meant to happen
A F#m C#m E
But what do you do if it don't?
[Pre-Chorus]
A Em
Do you ever lie in bed with your three cats
D
And get obsessed with some boy you met
Dm
One time, three years ago in Nashville?
Dm
And you can't remember his last name
Dm
And think
[Chorus]
A F#m
Did I fuck my whole life up?
C#m E
Did I miss my one true love?
A F#m
Was he right in front of me at the dive bar?
C#m E
Was that you with the cowboy blues?
A F#m C#m E
You ask me, "Babe, take a chance, come on, just stay"
A F#m
Why'd I leave you standing there at the dive bar?
C#m E
I miss you with the cowboy blue suit
[Post-Chorus]
A F#m C#m E
Sha-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, ooh
[Verse 2]
A F#m C#m E
My therapist said, "Listen, girl, it's a love addiction"
A F#m C#m E
She gave me a book on that (Did you read it? No)
A F#m C#m E
My tarot cards read there's a dead man clinging to my aura
A F#m C#m E
And to let go of the past
[Pre-Chorus]
A Em
I can't help that I'm in bed with my three cats
Em
I'm still obsessed with some boy
D
I shot whiskey with for one night
Dm
And I don't remember if he remembers me
Dm
While I sit here thinking about him
[Chorus]
A F#m
Did I fuck my whole life up?
C#m E
Did I miss my one true love?
A F#m
Was he right in front of me at the dive bar?
C#m E
Was that you with the cowboy blues?
A F#m C#m E
You ask me, "Babe, take a chance, come on, just stay"
A F#m
Why'd I leave you standing there at the dive bar?
C#m E
I miss you with the cowboy blue suit
[Post-Chorus]
A F#m
Sha-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, ooh
C#m E
I miss you with the cowboy blue suit
A F#m
Sha-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, ooh
C#m E
I miss you with the cowboy blue suit
[Bridge]
A F#m
Some days, it's easy, some days, it's hard
C#m E
Sunday's the night that we met at the bar
A F#m
Laughing and dancing and shooting the shit
C#m E
What would've happened if I'd had your kids?
[Chorus]
A F#m
Did I fuck my whole life up?
C#m E
Did I miss my one true love?
A F#m
Was he right in front of me at the dive bar?
C#m E
Was that you with the cowboy blues?
A F#m C#m E
You ask me, "Babe, take a chance, come on, just stay"
A F#m
Why'd I leave you standing there at the dive bar?
C#m E A
I miss you with the cowboy blue nudie suit

Tuning: G C E A
Capo: 1st fret
Key: C
GCEA
C: 0003
Am: 2000

Dm7: 2213

*Strum once
- Pre-chorus has a rallantando near the end. Slow this section gradually as you see fit.
- Pre-chorus chords should be strummed slowly enough that each string is heard individually.
The final pre-chorus chord is strummed even more slowly due to the rallantando.
- The final pre-chorus chord is a Dm7. Without tuning your instrument up a half-step,
or carefully placing both your capo and finger, a Dm7 may sound "dirty".
If you don't like how the Dm7 (2213) sounds, you can just play a Dm (2210) instead. :)
- Bridge chords are optional. Studio version is a capella.
