This is basically a stripped down, solo acoustic version. If you wanna play electric, try using the bar chords. intro (i play this twice): e----------------15------| B-----------15-----------| G--7---12----------------| D------------------------| A------------------------| E------------------------| For the C chord, pluck the strings in this order: A D B G D G For the Fmaj7 chord, pluck the strings in this order: D G B G D G (sometimes switch out the B with the E string) C Fmaj7 x6 Verse 1: C Fmaj7 I'm just of real sad folk C Fmaj7 And '85 was our best year C Fmaj7 And she says it gets much worse C Fmaj7 Before it gets any better Prechorus, strummed (you can absolutely still pluck this, i just play it this way): Am G Fmaj7 So I take it with a grain of salt for the other means Am G Fmaj7 (hold) I wonder why it doesn't keep her up at night Like it does me (under a solo) C Fmaj7 x2 Verse 2: C Fmaj7 We talk the way you do C Fmaj7 I have a sweet or two C Fmaj7 For my only plus you say C Fmaj7 They're getting bigger everyday Pre-chorus: Am G Fmaj7 So I take it with a grain of salt for the other means Am G Fmaj7 (hold) I wonder why it doesn't keep him up at night Like it does me (under a solo) C Fmaj7 x2 Chorus: Am G Fmaj7 I'll be in your car Am G Fmaj7 I locked the keys in your car Am G Fmaj7 I'll be in your car for now C Fmaj7 x2 Verse 3: C Fmaj7 You wanna fool around? I ask C Fmaj7 I get a sour reply C Fmaj7 From the other wheel C Fmaj7 That always rises to the occasion Pre-chorus: Am G Fmaj7 So I take it with a grain of salt for the other means Am G Fmaj7 (hold) I wonder why it doesn't keep you up at night (under a solo) C Fmaj7 x 2 Chorus: Am G Fmaj7 I'll be in your car Am G Fmaj7 I locked the keys in your car Am G Fmaj7 I'll be in your car for now (under another solo) C Fmaj7 x a lot hold an Fmaj7 and some point and then strum the chords each only once and holding it: C Fmaj7 x 2 then, again strumming each chord only once and holding it: Verse 4: C Fmaj7 C I've been a mess for some time now Fmaj7 I get what I deserve C Fmaj7 C For someone who leaves behind a life Fmaj7 I can't do better Pre-chorus: Am G Fmaj7 So I take it with a grain of salt for the other means Am G Fmaj7 (hold) I wonder why it doesn't keep you up at night (Up at night, up at night, up at night) Like it does me
