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

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)

Like it does me
