You say you're mama called and you must go 
                                     D7  
She's down in the bed and needs you so 
                                                           
And you don't know if you'll be coming home tonight or not 
                                    G  
But honey ain't you're mama sick a lot 
  
  
Lately you're head hurts every night 
                                      D7  
Could it be you wear your cloths too tight 
  
Since you don't seem to hear a thing I say or do 
                                          G  
Then I know there's nothing I can do for you 
  
               C       G  
This ain't my first rodeo 
                                    D7  
This ain't the first time this old cowboy's been throwed 
        
This ain't the first I've seen this dog and pony show 
                     G  
This ain't my first rodeo 
  
   
You're telling me you lost you're wedding band 
                                             D7  
Somehow you say it slipped right off you're hand 
                                                     
And when I asked about those boxes stacked there by the door 
                                                     G  
You say it's just some old things you don't wear no more 
  
  
I didn't make it all the way through school 
                              D7  
But my mama didn't raise any fool 
  
I may not be the Einstein of our time

But honey I'm not dumb and I'm not blind

Every night you go to bed crying 
                                         C  
There's nothing left to do when love is dying 
                                           F  
So before the whole world knows how we're hurting 
 G7                                        C  
Don't you think it's time we pulled the curtains 
  
                                   G7  
So many times I talked you out of leaving 
                                             C  
And so many times you've tried to fight the feeling 
                                         F  
I guess we've tried and failed once too often 
 G7                                           C  
Now the suitcase down the hallway does the talking 
  
                          G7  
That just about does it  don't it 
                              C  
That'll just about kill it   won't it 
                 
Maybe we should call a truce  
    F  
We could but what's the use 
      G7                    C  
That just about does it  don't it 
  
                                           G7  
It's sad to think that words could come between us 
                                      C  
And what I said  God knows  I didn't mean it 
                                      F  
It's time we realized this time it's over 
 G7                               C  
It's tearing us apart to stay together

And forget all my cares in a hurry 
 G                         C             G  
And it's my belief that I'll find relief

In a bottle of Tennessee courage 
 
                             C            G  
Her memory keeps waitin' in line every night

Alone with the rest of my worries

But I'll never crawl I can hold up the wall

Now my good friend Jack Daniels stands tall on the shelf 
                             D7  
And he'll go to war with my troubles 
     C             D7              G              C  
And he'll never desert an old friend when I'm hurt

And needin' some Tennessee courage 
 
                            C               G  
It's straight ninety proof can alter the truth 
                             D7  
Put hair on your chest in a hurry 
 G                           C          G  
I know I'll survive raise hell for awhile

                   C  
Do you believe me now 
                          G  
I told you time and time again  
                           D7  
My heart and soul is your hands  
                   G  
Do you believe me now 
  
                   C  
Do you believe me now 
                          G  
Look at the living dying proof   
                         D7  
I ain't nothing without you  
                   G  
Do you believe me now  
  
  
I don't know what changed your mind  
                        C  
Come on ask if this is real  
                               D7  
I don't know what if you're a dream  
                         G  
I only know how good it feels  
  
  
If you could find it in your heart  
                              C  
To say the fire for me still burns  
                           D7  
I'll find a place to turn around  
                       G  
Down this road of no return  
  
Repeat #3 & 4
