Capo on 2

1/2 fret and then plucked open..if that makes sense.. just play around on those and you'll get it)


             C majorC
Perfumed letters of an earlier time.
             G+G
Memories of ladies now lay far behind.
             D MajorD
Too many lovers makes her heart go blind.
             G+G
Well, I should've known better.

             C majorC
I was so foolish and I chased the sun.
             G+G
Young once and fine, now my days are done.
             D MajorD
Too many lovers makes you on the run.
             G+G
Well, I should've known better.

(Chorus)
    C majorC
Well, I tried too hard and spoke too soon.
    G+G
Oh, I got too drunk and shot the moon.
D MajorD
All the while I'd look at you and you'd say,
C majorC            G+G
Oh, you should've known better baby.
C majorC            G+G
Oh, you should've known better baby.
C majorC            G+G            D MajorD
Oh, you should've known better .... Oh baby, yes I do
           G+G
Well darlin', now I do.


             C majorC
I jump from roof tops both far and wide.
             G+G
I stole their kisses and I robbed them blind.
          D MajorD
Leaving lovers in a bed of lies.
            G+G
Well, I should've known better.

          C majorC
I was a lion tamer long ago.
            G+G
A augmentedA veteran in the art of fooling ghosts
             D MajorD
Much too lonely for their hearts to know.
            G+G
Well I should've known better.

(Repeat Chorus)

           C majorC
Now, an old man and nothing more.
            G+G
Much too tired, oh, to even scores.
              D MajorD
My wife, she left me back in '94.
            G+G
Well I should've known better.

            C majorC
And as I sit within my shallow grave.
              G+G
Looking for answers, oh, I should've saved.
              D MajorD
Just out of heaven's reach, amazing grace.
            G+G
Well I should've known better.


(Repeat Chorus)
(Repeat end of Chorus)
Oh, you should've known better baby.
Oh, you should've known better baby.
Oh, you should've known better.
Oh baby, now I do.
Well baby, now I do.
