♫ Intro:

D


♫ Verse 1:
D                           C          G       D
I never thought I'd see you looking at me this way
       C                    G
Almost vulgar and out of place
                C             G
Like seeing the moon in the day
          Em                   G
I find it hard not to look away
          C                     Em
Hard to believe it's the same face
                 C
I saw twisted in anger
                G               D
I thought you’d hate me forever

♫ Verse 2:
D               G
Now I feel your hand under the table,
G
At the fancy restaurant
         Em
Gripping on my inner thigh
Em
Like if you don’t I’m gonna run
            C
But I’m not going anywhere
C
Least not anywhere you’re not
       D
Got me wrapped around your finger
D
Tied in a double knot


♫ Pre-Chorus:
              G
Just like our legs all double knotted
G
In the morning at the Ritz
  Em
$700 dollar room still drinking coffee from the Keurig
      C
We're soaking up the luxuries on someone else's dime
D
Living the dream before we fully pass our prime


♫ Chorus:
         C
And when we do
          Em                        D
I'll have time to write the book on you
A                         C
Time to write the book on you
G                         D
Time to write the book on you


♫ Verse 3:
        G
Sitting on the kitchen counter
G
Counting bug bites on your thighs
      Em
Just another southern summer
Em
Sweating bullets in the highs
     C
Watermelon dripping down your chin
C
Laughing 'til you cry
         D
Sweetest tears I ever tasted
D
Kissing salt out of your eyes
          G
I've been circumventing your pet peeves
             Em
Bending over backwards every time that you say please
             C
I just wanna make you happy
                        D
Will you let me spend a lifetime trying?


♫ Chorus:
       C
And if you do
          Em                        D
I'll have time to write the book on you
A                         C
Time to write the book on you
G                         D
Time to write the book on you
                          A
Finally time to write the book on you


♫ Verse 4:
Em                         D
I still believe in God sometimes
                         Cmaj7
It always takes me by surprise
                       A
To catch myself in the middle of praying
Em
But I thank God for you
     D
When I don't know what else to do
      C                                   A
Don't know where the words go but I still say ‘em


♫ Bridge:
Em                    D
If it's not God, it's Fate
                       C
If it's not Fate, it’s Chance
                            G
If it's my chance I'm gonna take it
G
Cause who gets the chance
         C          G
Like the one that I have?
   Em             G
To catch the most wanted man in West Tennessee


♫ Outro:
G                       D
If you let me write the book
         C                G
Open the heart and take a look
G
I promise anything you give me
G
Is something I will keep
                         D
We can burn it when it’s done
         C             G
Soot and cinder in the sun
        Am          G           N.C.
Nothing left for anyone to read and weep
