Verse 1
G 
No, it ain't how I thought it would feel.
Bb 
G 
I thought I'd feel bad,
Bb 
G 
C 
but I've taken a   turn for the worse.
G 
Think I'll get me to church
Singing, what would town
say about that?
Would he just sing me off
C 
to some place in the sky
G 
Where the sad angels fly
D 
And love's worth the hurtin'
Cause all in good time,
G 
everybody's waving goodbye
No, it ain't how I thought it would end
It's like packing a lunchbox
C 
and getting laid off from work
G 
D 
I  need to get me to church
G 
C 
G 
Singing, what would
John say about that?
Would he just send me
to an upstate New York
C 
mountain stream
G 
Catching catfish and dreams
D 
Or to a motel in Reno
Or in some black -and -white video
G 
I'm coaching my kid's baseball team
And what would Lou say about that?
Would she call out the dogs
C 
And pour on a little more rain?
And just to head to the bay
G 
D 
And paint a gravel road ending
where there's no looking back
Cause that's just the name
G 
C 
G 
of that game
And what would Guy say about that?
Would he refer me back
C 
to some stuff I could use?
G 
Like an old pair of shoes?
D 
You don't have to try,
cause you know they fit
And they ain't kickin' of no excuse
G 
And what would Steve
say about that?
Would he just haul my ass
C 
down to the railroad hill
G 
Where most white folks don't go
D 
Sayin' if you wanna feel somethin'
That'll make you feel like nothin'
G 
Or go spend a week on death row
Singing what would town say about that
Would he just send me off
C 
to some place in the sky
G 
C 
Where the sad angels cry
G 
D 
And love's worth the hurtin'
Cause all in good time
Everybody's wavin' goodbye
G 
D 
And love's worth the hurtin'
Cause all in good time
Everybody's wavin' goodbye
G
