Intro: F# A E
verse 1
E
I've had to buy back damn near everything I own,
A E
From a little man who's name is Saul and has a lot of money to loan.
E E7
I drive a beat up '67 Chevrolet, hey hey,
A E
With a torn up seat that pokes a brand new hole in my back near every day.
E E7
I got a letter from the folks over at Bell,
A E
Just to let me know my next phonecall I can walk outside and yell.
F#7 B7
Hey, I know my life seems a mess, but honey, things to me still look real swell.
E E7
'Cause I've got you, to see me through,
A A7 E7
Yeah, I've got you, oh to chase my blues.
E E7
I've got you to ease my pain,
A A7 E7
Yeah, I've got you, girl to keep me sane.
F#7
So let 'em do what they wanna do,
A E
'Cause it don't matter long as I've got you.

verse 2
E
I've got the landlord breathin' down my neck for rent,
A E
Oh, but he don't give a damn about my kids or where the money was spent.
E
And after all those years of payin' union dues,
A E
It sure didn't seem to count for much when we got our layoff news.
E
I got a note from the man over at the bank,
A E
said the next 10 gallons of gas I buy won't be goin' in my tank.
F#7 A B7
Hey, I know I might seem near dead, but honey, I think I might just get well
E E7
'Cause I've got you, to see me through,
A A7 E7
Yeah, I've got you, oh to chase my blues.
E E7
I've got you to ease my pain,
A A7 E7
Yeah, I've got you, girl to keep me sane.
F#7
So let 'em do what they wanna do,
A E
'Cause it don't matter long as I've got you.
Outro
F#7
Yeah, let 'em go right ahead and sue,
A E
'Cause it don't matter long as I've got you.
