[Verse 1]
G
Every song that
I sing,
every word that I
C
write
It comes straight
from
G
my heart
And line after line,
these memories I
share –
D
They tore my world
apart
G
Like the day my
daddy left me,
when his time on
earth
C
was done
C
Yea it took me to
G
my knees
Well writing all
these songs,
You took half of
what we had and
F
you stole our
C G
baby...
G
I guess that’s how
my next
D7
song'll start
G
Well Im tired of
having lyrics
and nobody to hold –
C
man I wish this
G
was a dream
Yea writing all
these songs – it
D7
all its cracked
G
up to be

G
Well nobody told
me that
this pen and paper -
C
makes it hard to
G
move on
G
And reliving each
heartache, one
D
rhyme at a time..
D
That’s what makes
a good song
G
I guess all the bad
times man
they are finally
paying
C
off – but they
sure
G
cost me
G
Yea writing all
these songs -
D7
it all that it's
G
cracked up to be

I wish this ole
guitar would
F C G
give up on me
G
just like you did
when
times got hard
C
You took half of what
we had and
F C G
you stole our baby...
G
I guess that’s how
my next
D7
song'll start
G
Im tired of having
lyrics and nobody to
C
hold – man I wish
this
G
was a dream
G
Yea writing all
these songs – it
