Verse 1
She said, "Andy, (A minor7) you're better (C6)
than your (D7sus4) past"
Winked (A minor7) me and (C6) drained her glass (D7sus4)
Cross-legged (A minor7) on a barstool, (C6)
like (D7sus4) nobody sits anymore (A minor7) (C6) (D7sus4)
She said, "Andy, (A minor7) you're tak (C6) ing me (D7sus4) home"
But I knew (A minor7) she planned to (C6) sleep alone (D7sus4)
I'd carry (A minor7) her to bed, (C6) sweep (D7sus4) up
the hair from the (A minor7) floor (C6) (D7sus4)

Chorus 1
If I'd (Fadd9) fucked her before (Gsus2) she got sick
I'd (C6) never hear (G/B) the end (A minor7) of it
She (Fadd9) don't have the (Gsus2) spirit for that (A minor7) now
We just drink (Fadd9) our drinks and laugh (Gsus2) out loud
(C6) Bitch about (G/B) the weekend (A minor7) crowd
And try (Fadd9) to ignore the (Gsus2) elephant somehow
(A minor7) (C6) (D7sus4) Somehow
(A minor7) (C6) (D7sus4)
(A minor7) (C6) (D7sus4)
(A minor7) (C6) (D7sus4)
Verse 2
She said, "Andy, (A minor7) you crack (C6) me (D7sus4) up"
Seagram's (A minor7) in a (C6) coffee cup (D7sus4)
Sharecropper (A minor7) eyes, (C6)
and the hair (D7sus4) almost all gone (A minor7) (C6) (D7sus4)
When she was drunk, (A minor7)
she made cancer (C6) jokes (D7sus4)
Made up (A minor7) her own doctors' (C6) notes (D7sus4)
surrounded (A minor7) by her (C6) family, I saw (D7sus4)
that she was dying alone (A minor7) (C6) (D7sus4)
Chorus 2
But I'd (Fadd9) sing her classic (Gsus2) country songs
And she'd (C6) get high (G/B) and sing (A minor7) along
She (Fadd9) don't have a voice (Gsus2) to sing with (A minor7) now
We burn (Fadd9) these joints in effigy (Gsus2)
Cry (C6) about (G/B) what we (A minor7) used to be
Try (Fadd9) to ignore the (Gsus2) elephant somehow
(A minor7) (C6) (D7sus4) Somehow
(A minor7) (C6) (D7sus4)
Chorus 3
I (Fadd9) buried her a thousand (Gsus2) times,
(C6) given up (G/B) my place (A minor7) in line
But I (Fadd9) don't give a damn (Gsus2) about that (A minor7) now
There's one (Fadd9) thing that's real (Gsus2) clear to me
No (C6) one dies (G/B) with dignity (A minor7)
We just try (Fadd9) to ignore the (Gsus2) elephant
somehow (A minor7)
We just try (Fadd9) to ignore the (Gsus2) elephant
somehow (A minor7)
We just try (Fadd9) to ignore the (Gsus2) elephant
somehow (A minor7) (C6) (D7sus4) Somehow
(A minor7) (C6) (D7sus4) Somehow
(A minor7) (C6) (D7sus4)
(A minor7)
