Tin Can On A String chords by Brad Paisley

• Capo on 2nd

G
After the breakup,

                       D
I really thought we'd make up.

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

                    C
And suddenly she'd wake up.

                  G
But today if you listen,

                   D
Softly off in the distance,

                  Em
Somewhere 'cross town, you can hear the sound

                  C
Of wedding bells ringing.

             C
And there's bird seed on the concrete,

     G                  D
And she's waving goodbye


                     C
And they're driving away

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

      G              D
Yeah she's really gone,

               C     D            D7
I thought someday that would be me

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

                 C
And I'm holdin' on

        D               G
Like a tin can on a string.


              G
Somewhere in my mind,

                D
I'm the one by her side.

             Em
In that backseat, talkin' 'bout the beach

                   C
And that honeymoon flight.

                    G
I'd play the whole thing out,

                  D
From the kids to the house,

        Em                               C
To the future that we always dreamed about.

             C
But there's bird seed on the concrete,

     G                  D
And back here in reality


               C
She's driving away

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

      G              D
Yeah she's really gone,

               C     D            D7
I thought someday that would be me

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

                 C
And I'm holdin' on

        D              G
Like a tin can on a string.


G C D G

               C     D            D7
I thought someday that would be me

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

             Em                         C
And I'm not ready to let go of everything

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



*Short Pause*

                     G
Like a tin can on a string.
