Why Don't We Talk About It

Intro: C Csus2 Csus4 C  (2X)

C                         F   C
Once I had a woman with a high hand
C                             G   F
And I let her treat me mighty low man
C                      F    C
She made a lover of my best friend
C                           G   F
And now he treats me like a has been
F              C
Yes I've had my trouble with the world around me
F            C
No, I didn't give it my best
F           C                  Am
Now I get a chance to see some better weather
F                                                       C      C Csus2 Csus4 C  (2X)
If you want to stay forever, why don't we talk about it now

C                            F   C
Guess my reputation says I'm flaky
C                              G   F
Hey my whole situation's kinda shaky
C                                  F    C
Some people 'round here think I've lost it
C                             G     F
They drew the line I stepped across it
F                C
Yes, I've had my troubles in some certain circles
F           C
No I didn't bring it on myself
F           C                      Am
Now I get a chance to know they'll eat their words
F                                                                   C      C Csus2 Csus4 C  (2X)
And if you don't care what you've heard, why don't we talk about it now


G
Sometimes I make it all up in my head
          B
There's a whole lotta things that shoulda never been said
F                                                G
But this new ground feels solid that I'm standin on

C                                  F     C
I have done some things that might amaze you
C                                     G    F
But then again most things don't even faze you
C                         F    C
You got a way of standin' steadfast
C                      G    F
I got a way of runnin' dead last
F                C
Yes, I've had my trouble tryin' to start all over
F                 C
No, I didn't give it all I could
F            C                   Am
Now, I get a chance to know what love can heal
F                                                                C    C Csus2 Csus4 C  (2X)
And I you wanna know the feelin', why don't we talk about it now
F                                                             C       C Csus2 Csus4 C  (2X)
