Happens Every Time

[Intro ]
Dmaj7                          Amaj7 
        Swear it happens every time 

                         Dmaj7 
I swear it happens every time 
                       Amaj7 
Swear it happens every time 


 
Dmaj7                          Amaj7 
     Been runnin' down bright lights 
               Amaj7 
Burnin' down a borrowed guitar 

Singin' broken-hearted country songs 
Dmaj7 
     It's the same old story 
                      Amaj7 
Lettin' that drag talk for me 

I regret it in the mornin' 

But right now, I don't 

Dmaj7 
Ohh oh, check the phone one more time 
       Amaj7 
Just a-hopin' that you'll ring it, baby 

But you don't 
     Dmaj7 
Yeah, so I end up crossin' lines 
          Amaj7 
Tryin' to find someone to love me 'cause you won't 
 

 
                 Dmaj7 
It happens every time 
              Amaj7 
I go try bein' me and you with someone new 
                           Dmaj7 
Yeah, girl, it oughta be a crime 
                         Amaj7 
To keep on lyin' all the time 

like I ain't stuck on you 

No, 'cause it just ain't true 

Dmaj7 
 You know that's somethin' I say 

You know that's somethin' I do 
Amaj7 
 To get me through it when I'm missin' you 

                 Dmaj7 
It happens every time 
                       Amaj7 
Swear it happens every time 

Yeah 
 

 
dmaj7 
 We had a two-lane town 
                   Amaj7 
In the palm of our hands 
                                          dmaj7 
Couple Lynchburg lovers, but we let it go (let it go) 

Should be rockin' on a porch swing 
                 Amaj7 
But I run from a sure thing 

Faster than a Mississippi River flows 

Dmaj7                                 Amaj7 
Ohhh oh, yeah, you think I learned my lesson 

Then quit messin' with fire 
                         Dmaj7 
But I just light another smoke 

I'll say it, "Done after this" 
Amaj7 
Till I get drinkin' again 
 

 
                         Dmaj7 
I swear it happens every time 
              Amaj7 
I go try bein' me and you with someone new 
                           Dmaj7 
Yeah, girl, it oughta be a crime 
                         Amaj7 
To keep on lyin' all the time 

like I ain't stuck on you 

No, 'cause it just ain't true 

Dmaj7 
 You know that's somethin' I say 

You know that's somethin' I do 
Amaj7 
 To get me through it when I'm missin' you 

                 Dmaj7 
It happens every time 
                       Amaj7 
Swear it happens every time 

Yeah 
 

 
      Dmaj7 
I love you, then I leave you 

Act like I don't need you, baby 
       Amaj7 
I know that I can't keep you 

Ain't no way to treat you, baby 
       Dmaj7 
I keep stringin' you along 
                                     Amaj7 
Just hopin' maybe I could change somehow 

But it never works, oh 
 

 
                         Dmaj7 
I swear it happens every time 
              Amaj7 
I go try bein' me and you with someone new 
                           Dmaj7 
Yeah, girl, it oughta be a crime 
                         Amaj7 
To keep on lyin' all the time 

like I ain't stuck on you 

No, 'cause it just ain't true 

Dmaj7 
 You know that's somethin' I say 

You know that's somethin' I do 
Amaj7 
 To get me through it when I'm missin' you 

                 Dmaj7 
It happens every time 
                       Amaj7 
Swear it happens every time 

Yeah
