Tin Can On A String chords by Brad Paisley

Chords with lyrics

• Capo on 2nd

G+G
After the breakup,

            D MajorD
I really thought we'd make up.

          E minorEm
Give her a little time, I'd be on her mind

          C majorC
And suddenly she'd wake up.

         G+G
But today if you listen,

          D MajorD
Softly off in the distance,

         E minorEm
Somewhere 'cross town, you can hear the sound

         C majorC
Of wedding bells ringing.

       C majorC
And there's bird seed on the concrete,

   G+G         D MajorD
And she's waving goodbye

           C majorC
And they're driving away

   G+G             D MajorD           C majorC
And everybody cheerin' them on as the taillights fade

   G+G       D MajorD
Yeah she's really gone,

        C majorC   D MajorD      D7D7
I thought someday that would be me

            G+G          D MajorD
But now she's driving away in that limousine

         C majorC
And I'm holdin' on

    D MajorD        G+G
Like a tin can on a string.

       G+G
Somewhere in my mind,

        D MajorD
I'm the one by her side.

       E minorEm
In that backseat, talkin' 'bout the beach

          C majorC
And that honeymoon flight.

          G+G
I'd play the whole thing out,

         D MajorD
From the kids to the house,

    E minorEm                C majorC
To the future that we always dreamed about.

       C majorC
But there's bird seed on the concrete,

   G+G         D MajorD
And back here in reality


        C majorC
She's driving away

     G+G          D MajorD           C majorC
And everybody cheerin' them on as the taillights fade

   G+G       D MajorD
Yeah she's really gone,

        C majorC   D MajorD      D7D7
I thought someday that would be me

            G+G          D MajorD
But now she's driving away in that limousine

         C majorC
And I'm holdin' on

    D MajorD       G+G
Like a tin can on a string.


G+G C majorC D MajorD G+G

        C majorC   D MajorD      D7D7
I thought someday that would be me

            G+G          D MajorD
But now she's driving away in that limousine

       E minorEm             C majorC
And I'm not ready to let go of everything

        G+G        D MajorD
So I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on


*Short Pause*

           G+G
Like a tin can on a string.


*Play The Ending Off However You Want*
