Verse 1
(G major) Now broken hearted people
always seem to drink
And trying to drown those sorrows
(B minor) ain't (G major) (C major) as easy as (D major) you think (G major)
But living with a liar
is a hard old way to go
Laugh (B minor) in' just to keep from cryin'
Ain't (G major) (C major) no way to grow old (D major)
So take (C major) me to a (G major) ballroom driver
Set (C major) me on a stool
(G major) If (C major) I can't be her man, (G major)
I'm damned if (C major) I'll (F major) be her fool (G major)
They say that whiskey ain't the best way
But then I ain't too smart
What a (B minor) thing I just found (G major) out (B minor)
That she was (C major) lying from (D major) the start (G major)
So it's nothing but a bad joke
Looking for a laugh
Hold (B minor) on to your lampshade darling
Cause I'm (C major) looking for a hat (D major)
And take (C major) me to a (G major) barroom driver
Set (C major) me on (G major) a suit
If (C major) I can't be her (G major) man I'm (E minor) damned If (C major) I
did (D major) (G major) (C major) (G major) (C major) (G major) (C major)
(G major) (E minor) (C major) (D major) (G major)
So get this taxi movin',
cause I got no time to lose
There ain't (B minor) no time to be choosin'
You know (G major) that (C major) any old (D major) boy will (G major) lose
Cause I'm lookin' to get silly,
I'm lookin' to get loose
And if (B minor) that don't get it (G major) done, (B minor)
darlin', I'll come (C major) lookin' for you (D major)
So take (C major) me to a (G major) barroom driver,
(C major) set me on a stool
(G major) If (C major) I can't be a man, (G major)
I'm down, (C major) if I'll (D major) be
I (G major) said you (C major) take me to a (G major) barroom driver,
(C major) set me on a stool (G major)
If (C major) I can't be a (G major) man,
I'm (E minor) down, (C major) if I'll (D major) be (G major)
If (C major) I can't be (G major) her when I'm dead,
(C major) if I'll be her (D major) (G major) soon
Thank you. Hey. (F major) (B flat major) Hey, John,
what if her old (C major) poor Roseanne (G major) back home
not having as much fun as we are?
She ain't having near
as much fun as we are.
It's all your fault.
What's one of her songs?
Oh, let's see. Hold on. Too many chords.
We could call her up and get
her phone in one day.
Rose wrote all these songs
when she was mad at me, and I'm better now,
and she ain't as mad at me,
so she ain't writing songs right now.
I keep saying, uh -huh,
you want me to go out and
make a fool of myself
so you can write a song.
I'm going to make her sweat.
I'm gonna be real good
