It Never Woulda Worked Out Anyway chords by Brad Paisley

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:

           Bb  Dm                    Dbm
Oh lighten up, where's your sense of humor?
             Cm          F
They're just tiny little rumors
       Cm                 F               Bb(2)  F
That I started 'cause I'm lookin' out for you.
          Bb        Dm            Dbm
Oh settle down, I'm just a little jealous,
        Cm               F
And I'm sure those other fellas
      Cm                F                Bb(2)
Never once believed the lies I told were true.

chorus:

         Eb                               Bbmaj7
Like the time I told that cowboy that you used to be a man,
        F                               Bmaj7
And the doctor you were datin' that you hide your wedding band.
     Eb         Edim         Bb(2)         G
Even if I am responsible for scaring them away,
    Cm              F               Cm          F
You really ought to thank me, I was doin' you a favour,
          Cm           F             Bb
'Cause it never woulda worked out anyway.

verse:

             Bb       Dm              Dbm
Oh can't you see, the reason that I'm doin'
        Cm               F
All the crazy things I'm doin',
     Cm             F              Bb(2)  F
Is because I really care about you girl.
           Bb    Dm          Dbm
And I'll admit I go a little farther
       Cm              F
Than I know I probably oughta,
         Cm            F              Bb(2)
But it's all because I need you in my world.

chorus:
         Eb                               Bbmaj7
Like the time I told that lawyer that you spent a year in jail,
        F                                 Bmaj7
And the salesman you were seein' you hang out at cheap motels.
     Eb         Edim         Bb(2)         G
Even if I am responsible for scaring them away,
    Cm              F               Cm          F
You really ought to thank me, I was doin' you a favour,
          Cm           F             Bb
'Cause it never woulda worked out anyway.

bridge:

Cm                F                  Bbmaj7
I can't stand the thought of you with anybody else,
Cm               F             Gm      C      F   F#  F
I know I've gone overboard but I can't help myself.


chorus:

         Eb                               Bbmaj7
Like the time I told that dentist you had seven little kids,
        F                          Bbmaj7
And you doubled as a dancer at the strip joint on the ridge.
     Eb         Edim         Bb(2)        G
Even if I am responsible for scaring him away,
    Cm              F               Cm          F
You really ought to thank me, I was doin' you a favour,
          Cm           F             Bb
'Cause it never woulda worked out anyway.
     Cm            F              Cm                  F
It's all because I love you and I can't stop thinkin' of you,
       Cm           F             Bb
And it never woulda worked out anyway.
