Evan Patterson - Its Not My Fault

	  		

 
Verse 1:
   C                F 
I met this girl just yesterday 
       C           F 
Her eyes were like the sea 
   C           F 
So blue and so deep 
           G 
Yeah, they capsized me 

   C                F 
lost my words didn’t know what to say 
   C                F 
I just spoke on any way 
   C                F 
“So hey, how’s the weather 
    G 
Um, I like you shoes” 

Pre-Chorus
C 
To my surprise she replied 
C                              N.C. 
But i got scared and walked away 


G   G  C 
Not my fault 
     G   G  C 
It’s not my fault 
     G   G  C 
It’s not my fault 
     G   G  G 
It’s not my fault 


Verse 2:
 
   C                F 
Flashforward about a month or so 
   C                F 
Now we’re on our first date 
   C          F 
Maybe it was pity 
   G 
But I think it’s fate 

   C                F 
I look up to see her face 
   C                F 
And it’s smiling back at mine 
   C                F 
Or maybe at the waitress 
        G 
Who was serving us our wine 

Pre-Chorus 
C 
And as I reached for her glass 
C 
I accidentally spilled it on her lap 


G   G  C 
Not my fault 
     G   G  C 
It’s not my fault 
     G   G  C 
It’s not my fault 
     G   G  G 
They were too full 


Verse 3:
   C                F 
She took me to her parent’s house 
   C                F 
To introduce me to her folks 
   C                F 
They seem like nice people 
  G 
I told them some jokes 

   C                F 
I saw their dog was pawing 
   C          F 
At their back door 
   C                   F 
So I let him out, just smiling 
   G 
As I spared them of the chore 

 
Pre-Chorus
C 
But then I saw they didn't have a fence 
C 
And their dog, he ran away 


G   G  C 
Not my fault 
     G   G  C 
It’s not my fault 
     G   G  C 
It’s not my fault 
     G   G   G 
He never came back 


Instrumental

Verse 4:
   C                   F 
She won’t respond to my messages 
   C                   F 
She won’t answer my calls 
   C                   F 
Now I’m starting to think 
    G 
That maybe it's my fault 

   C               F 
She told me not to worry 
 C              F 
About the other guy 
   C                 F 
She said they’re not flirting 
G 
And I should trust her ‘cause she’s mine 

Pre-Chorus
C 
But then she went and left 
C 
Me for him 



It’s my fault 
G   G  C 
It’s my fault 
G   G  C 
It’s my fault 
G   G  C 
Maybe it was me
