Lori McKenna - Written Permission
CAPO: 5th Fret
[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
Well, I left your life by the side of the road
I got a clear conscience, decoded the code
C G
Your bags are packed, you're already gone
Dm7
And that's the last you'll hear of me
G
Move on, move on
[Verse 2]
I got a 'For Sale' sign and a brain in my head
I have paid my dues, I'm not crazy or dead
C G
I know life is hard, well so am I
Dm7
Don't cry for me
G
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
[Chorus]
C G Dm7
'Cause I have laid down my guns and ammunition
C
You can go now, you can go now, you can leave now
G
This is my written permission
[Verse 3]
I've been fighting for you for most of my life
I fought as a girlfriend, I fought as a wife
C G
Oh, prisoners they say are no one to love
Dm7
Well, I'm throwing in the towel
G
I'm taking off the gloves
[Chorus]
C G Dm7
'Cause I have laid down my guns and ammunition
C
You can go now, you can go now, you can leave now
G
This is my written permission
[Bridge]
F
And when you tell Susan that you love her
G
You can look her in the eye
F
And when you tell Gina
G Dm7
You can look her in the eye
You can sleep with yourself
G
You can sleep with your lies
Your lies, your lies, your lies
C G
I'm okay now, goodbye
[Chorus]
C G Dm7
'Cause I have laid down my guns and ammunition
C
You can go now, you can go now, you can leave now
G
This is my written permission
