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 F7M   chord, pluck the strings in this order: D G B G D G (sometimes switch out the B with the
E string)

C F7M   x6


Verse 1:
C           F7M  
I'm just of real sad folk
    C       F7M  
And '85 was our best year
   C             F7M  
And she says it gets much worse
       C              F7M  
Before it gets any better

Prechorus, strummed (you can absolutely still pluck this, i just play it this way):
Am           G                 F7M  
  So I take it with a grain of salt for the other means
  Am               G             F7M   (hold)
I wonder why it doesn't keep her up at night

Like it does me

(under a solo)
C F7M   x2 


Verse 2:
C           F7M  
We talk the way you do
C         F7M    
 I have a sweet or two
    C        F7M   
For my only plus you say
        C              F7M   
They're getting bigger everyday


Pre-chorus:
Am        G                  F7M  
So I take it with a grain of salt for the other means
  Am               G             F7M   (hold)
I wonder why it doesn't keep him up at night

Like it does me

(under a solo)
C F7M   x2


Chorus:
Am      G       F7M  
I'll be in your car
Am           G            F7M  
I locked the keys in your car
Am      G       F7M  
I'll be in your car for now

C F7M   x2


Verse 3:
C         F7M  
You wanna fool around? I ask
C       F7M  
I get a sour reply
C              F7M  
From the other wheel
            C              F7M  
That always rises to the occasion


Pre-chorus:
Am        G                  F7M  
So I take it with a grain of salt for the other means
  Am               G             F7M   (hold)
I wonder why it doesn't keep you up at night

(under a solo)
C F7M   x 2


Chorus:
Am      G       F7M  
I'll be in your car
Am           G            F7M  
I locked the keys in your car
Am      G       F7M  
I'll be in your car for now

(under another solo)
C F7M   x a lot
hold an F7M   at some point and then strum the chords each only once and holding it:

C F7M   x 2

then, again strumming each chord only once and holding it:


Verse 4:
C           F7M                C
I've been a mess for some time now
      F7M  
I get what I deserve
  C             F7M              C
For someone who leaves behind a life
           F7M  
I can't do better


Pre-chorus:
Am        G                  F7M  
So I take it with a grain of salt for the other means
  Am               G             F7M   (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

C F7M   to close it out, under a final solo
