Treasure chords by Mary Heather Hickman

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
| D     | G     | D     | G     |


Verse 1:
   D
If he looks like he's bad news
G
6’5" with a couple tattoos
  D
A smoking habit and a drinking problem
A
 Sounds like he's my prince charming

Verse 2:
D
Blames his stuff on his checkered past
         G
Like his DUI from his last relapse
       D
If you spent a couple nights in a county jail
     A
Well somebody get me a wedding veil


Pre-Chorus:
        N.C.
I can’t change ‘em, I can’t fix ‘em

But damn I sure can pick ‘em


Chorus:
            G
Pick up the tap when they ain’t got a dime
           D
Picking up problems that ain’t even mine
            A
Picking ‘em up even though I know better
         D
I’m just picking up trash and calling it trеasure
    D
I’m picking up trash and calling it treasure


Interlude:
| D     | G     |


Verse 3:
           D
I’vе tried making nice with the yes ma’am types
    G
The kind I know my mama likes
      D
But I like good times not good manners
     A
So I go on back to my low standards


Chorus:
            G
Pick up the tap when they ain’t got a dime
           D
Picking up problems that ain’t even mine
            A
Picking ‘em up even though I know better
         D
I’m just picking up trash and calling it treasure
    D
I’m picking up trash and calling it treasure


Interlude:
| D     | G     | D     | G     |


Bridge:
    D
The liars, the losers
        D
One too many shot of whiskey doers
       G
The prescription pill abusers
       A
Well I always seem to chose them


Chorus:
            G
Pick up the tap when they ain’t got a dime
           D
Picking up problems that ain’t even mine
            A
Picking ‘em up even though I know better
            A
Picking ‘em up even though I know better
            G
Pick up the tap when they ain’t got a dime
           D
Picking up problems that ain’t even mine
            A
Picking ‘em up even though I know better
         D
I’m just picking up trash and calling it treasure

I’m picking up trash and calling it treasure
