Verse 1:
Emadd9
Jimmy is married and he lives down south
    A                    Asus4
His wife lives somewhere colder
   Emadd9
He sees another woman in a badlands town
        A              Asus4    Emadd9
And she cries upon his shoulder
Emadd9
Jimmy thinks that he's a helpless man
   A                      Asus4
He thinks about love in a vacuum
       Emadd9
And he won't remember that talk you had
              A                Asus4  Emadd9
When you were walking into the bedroom


Chorus:
            C          Dsus2  G6
He'll say I don't know why we met
           C        Dsus2      G6
The simple truth is always the best
         Csus2        D6sus2  Em *  D6sus2
C'est la vie - what's done is done
                Csus2 B5  A   A/G   Emadd9
And there's somebody  for eve-ry-   one.

Verse 2:
Emadd9
Jimmy has debts and Jimmy has ties
        A                  A/G
That he can't get out from under
       Emadd9
If you look far enough into his eyes
      A                  Asus4   Emadd9
It'll rock you just like thunder.


Verse 3:
Emadd9
Jimmy broke locks and Jimmy broke bolts
        A                    Asus4
Just to get himself out from under
         Emadd9
When you feel like you're lying in a prison cell
      A                Asus4  Emadd9
It'll kind of make you wonder.


Chorus:
               C    Dsus2  G6
He'll say it's destiny we  met
           C        Dsus2      G6
The simple truth is always the best
          Csus2      D6sus2    Em *  D6sus2
Don't you see what's done  is  done
                Csus2 B5  A   A/G   Emadd9
And there's somebody for  eve-ry-   one.

I used to get drunk to get my spark
       Bm/E               A * G * A *
And it used to work just fine
           Bm/E                    A * G * A *
It made me wretched but it gave me heart
       Bm/E                      Asus4  A * G * A *
I miss Jimmy like I miss my wine.


Verse 5:

Jimmy as if you didn't know by now
       A                   Asus4
Let me tell you a thing or two
Emadd9
Everybody might have someone
         A            Asus4     Emadd9
But everyone falls in love with you
     A            Asus4     Emadd9
Everyone falls in love with you
     A            Asus4     Csus2
Everyone falls in love with you.

He'll say you get just what you get
           C        Dsus2      G6
The simple truth is always the best
          Csus2      D6sus2    Em *  D6sus2

                Csus2 B5  A   A/G   Emadd9
And there's somebody for  eve-ry-   one.

Everyone    all they love.....
