• Difficulty: Intermediate

♫ Intro:

A   E D   (x4)


♫ Verse :
             A               E D
It's pretty cold in Nashville
 A           E D
Mid-November
         Bm
I don't ever remember
                           A    E D
Another winter quite this cold

   Bm
Except for January 2003
         F#m
We were young and hungry, running like thieves
         D
But the fortune that we had
                 E
Could not be be told

♫ Verse :
    A             E D
Oh everybody said
         A               E D
We were wasting our time
             Bm
But I don't wanna die with ya
                              A   E D
'Til you were cooking on the line

Bm
I was young, I had a chip on my shoulder
F#m
You were tall, maybe five years older
D
We got drunk and made love
                   E
On the very first night


♫ Chorus:
   F#m                D
Oh love and pain, it comes in waves
            A                   C#
But it was quite nothing those early days
        F#m                D
We were wild as wolves my darling

         A     E D
We were strays
         A     E D
We were strays

A   E D
A   E D




♫ Verse :
          A                  E D
Where we didn't have no money
         A           E D
And the heat was off
Bm
All that December we shared
                  A    E D
A twin bed and a cough

Bm
You were skinny but full of hunger
F#m
 I was wise, just five years younger
 D
Couple of drop-outs, oh
                  E
But we still got off




♫ Verse :
    A             E D
No two week notice
         A                        E D
Yeah we slipped through the cracks
 Bm
Leave in the middle of the night
                         A   E D
With the clothes on our backs

 Bm
Can't be a loser with nothing to lose
     F#m
And beggars are choosers with nothing to choose
    D
We didn't buy in to sell out
                     E
We got out while we can


♫ Chorus:
   F#m                    D
No it ain't luck and baby it ain't fate
         A                     C#
To just follow your gut and be up and wait
 F#m                              D
Maybe there's a little something there
             A     E D
For all the strays

         A     E D
We were strays
         A     E D
We were strays
         A     E D
We were strays
            A     E D    A   E D    A  E D
Oh we were straaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaays

         A    E D   A  D A
We were strays
