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)

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

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

I wonder why it doesn't keep you up at night
