Intro:
D* A* D Bm/G D/F# G/E
Verse:
D* A*
Girl since you left me
D
Been trying to forget we
Bm/G D/F# G/E
Ever became what we were
D* A*
I poured some whiskey
D
On places you kissed me
Bm/G D/F# G/E
Tried to wash off all the hurt
G
Ain't nothin' workin'
A
I've ripped out the words in
D A G/E
A thousand old sad country songs
G/D A
But whenever I try to move on
Chorus:
D* A* D
It's like tryin' to put a bandaid on a bullet hole
Bm/G D/F# G
Tryin' to tell a cowboy to slow down
D* A* D
It's like watching the way that the river runs
Bm/G D/F# G/E G/A
And then tellin' it to turn back around
Bm D/A
And I've had some strangers told people I hate ya
G D/F# G/E
But I just keep hittin' a wall
D* A* D
It's like tryin' to put a bandaid on a bullet hole
G A D
It just don't do me no good at all

Verse:
D* A* Bm
If I was only, heart broke and lonely

Find me a companion, but you left to Canyon
Bm/G A D
Can nobody feel in this heart
Chorus:
D* A* D
And girl its like tryin' to put a bandaid on a bullet hole

Tryin' to tell a cowboy to slow down

And I've had some strangers told people I hate ya

It's like tryin' to put a bandaid on a bullet hole

It just don't do me no good at all
Bridge:
G D G
No damn good, damn good, damn good at all
G
But baby tell me how ya did it
A

And tell me what's your secret
A G/E
And how'd you let me go, so, easy
Chorus:
D* A* D
Cause' girl its like tryin' to put a bandaid on a bullet hole
