Intro:

G   G   G   G


Verse:
      G
If I chase my tequila with an ice cold beer

Blame Texas.
      C
If I swear there ain't no better place to here
       G
Blame Texas.

        D
If you think I say a few words wrong
            C                      G
And find a way to put a fiddle in every song
      C                       D
If I take George Strait over Elvis
       G
Blame Texas

Chorus:
    G       C              D
But if you wonder why she packed all her things
         G                      Em
Left me back here alone in the Lone Star State,
         C                        D
Yeah, I messed up a good thing again
                    G      G
Guess I just can't help it

               C
She loved the wide open skies
         D
No, she didn't want to leave
         G               D/F#
Did her wrong, now she's gone
         Em
And it's all on me

        Am
Comin' back, no she ain't
        D
Wish I could, but I can't
       G      G
Blame Texas


Verse:
      G
If I got a little outlaw in my blood

Blame Texas
    C
If all my settle downs are out on the road
       G
Blame Texas

        D
If you always see me out in my cowboy hat
          C                       G
A little red on my neck and some sweat on my back
      C                       D
If I ain't the kinda mess to mess with
       G
Blame Texas


Chorus:
           C              D
So if you wonder why she packed all her things
         G                      Em
Left me back here alone in the Lone Star State,
         C                        D
Yeah, I messed up a good thing again
                    G      G
Guess I just can't help it

               C
She loved the wide open skies
         D
No, she didn't want to leave
         G                D
Did her wrong, now she's gone
         Em
And it's all on me

        Am
Comin' back, no she ain't
        D
Wish I could, but I can't
       G
Blame Texas

C   D   G   Em
C   D


Break:
          G
I like a Shiner Bock longneck and Sunday Cowboy football
           C          Am
And I can hold my own on a pissed off bull
 C     D
But I can't hold onto a woman at all


Chorus:
        C              D
If you wonder why she packed all her things
         G                      Em
Left me back here alone in the Lone Star State,
         C                        D
Yeah, I messed up a good thing again
                    G      G
Guess I just can't help it

               C
She loved the wide open skies
         D
No, she didn't want to leave
         G                D
Did her wrong, now she's gone
         Em
And it's all on me

        Am
Comin' back, no she ain't
        D
Wish I could, but I can't
       G      G
Blame Texas

        Am
Comin' back, no she ain't
        D
Wish I could, but I can't blame Texas
