Ain't it a shame, girl

That we had it all almost? 
                      G         D 
Now, there's no other way, girl 
C9                       D 
That's just the way love goes 
        G              D 
'Cause Waylon, Willie, Jones, and Whitley 
 Am7               D 
They made all the rules 
   G                 Am7              C9

Baby, I could put the bottle down 
C9                D                    G

I could leave this bar right now 
C9                       D                    G 
You could meet me at the door with nothin' on 
                     Am7 
We can find a way to work this out 
C9                      D 
Aw, but, girl, it would feel so wrong 
G               Am7          C9
