It Ain't Over Yet chords by Rodney Crowell

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse:
E                                    B
It’s like I’m sitting at a bus stop  waiting for a train
A                       B
Exactly how I got here  is hard to explain
E                              B
My heart’s in the right place  what’s left of it I guess
A                            B
My heart ain’t the problem   it’s my mind that’s a total mess
E                              B
With these rickety old legs    and these watery eyes
A                       B
It’s hard to believe    that I could pass for anybody’s prize
E                              B
And here’s what I know about   the gifts that God gave
A                            B
You can’t take em with you   when you go to the grave

Chorus:
E                 C#m                           A                            B
It’ aint over yet ask someone who ought to know not so very long ago we were both hung out to dry
E                 C#m                           A                                 B
It’ aint over yet you can mark my words don’t care what you think you heard we’re still learning how to fly
E
It’ aint over yet

Verse:
E                   B
For fools like me   who were built for the chase
A                                  B
It takes the right kind of woman  to help you put it all in place
E                                    B
It only happened once in my life     but man you should have seen
A                                     B
Her hair two shades of fox tail red    her eyes some far out sea blue green
E                                          B
I got caught up making a name for myself   you know what that’s about
A                                     B
One day your ship comes rolling in    the next day it just rolls back out
E                               B
And you can’t take for granted  none of this shit
A                            B
The higher up yOu fly boys    the harder it is you’re gonna get hit

Chorus:
E                  C#m                      A                          B
It’ aint over yet  I’ll say this about that you can get up off the mat or you can lay there til you die
E                  C#m                        A                   B
It’ aint over yet here’s the truth my friend you can’t pack it in and we both know why
E
It’ aint over yet

Bridge:
C#m        A                                  E                     B
Silly boys blind to get there first think of second chances as some kind of curse
C#m        A                                  E                     B
I’ve known you for ever and ever it’s true if you came by it easy you wouldn’t be you
C#m        A                E                   B
You Make me laugh       you make me cry         you make me forget myself

Verse:
E                           B
Back when down on my luck    kept me up for days
A                                     B
You were there with the right words   to help me cralw out of the maze
E                                  B
When I’d almost convinced myself   I was hipper than not
A                                     B
You stepped up with a warning shot    fired sweet and low across the bow
A                             B
And you don’t walk on water   and your sarcasm stings
E                                               B
But the way you move through this old world     sure makes a case of angel wings
A                                  B
And I was half way to the bottom   when you threw me that line
E                                 B
And I’ll quote you now verbatim   Get your head out of your own behind
A                                     B
It’ aint over yet what you wanna bet  one more cigarette aint gonna send you to the grave
E                                             B
It’ aint over yet I seen your new girlfriend thinks you’re the living end big old sparkle in her eye
E
It’ aint over yet
