🎸 Verse 1:
A       D         A/C#       Bm
I hit a real nice line drive through the pines
    D             G
And right into my neighbor
    D/F#          A
Mr. Simpson’s big bay window
D               A/C#         Bm
Me and the guys ran like our pants were on fire
D                        G
Til we were out of breath
               D/F#              A
And they never did catch whoever did it

🎸 Chorus:
      D          A/C#
But I paid for it
           Bm              A
Every time I walked by and he waved hi
  G          D/F#
I paid for it
     A
Even though it didn’t cost me a single dime
D               A/C#
I don’t know if it’s true
    Bm                     A
But part of me believes he always knew
G                     D/F#  A
I guess even when you don’t you kinda do
       D          A/C#  D  A
Yeah I paid for it


🎸 Verse 2:
D               D/F#          Bm
I went out when I got off and tied one on
      D                     G
While she was home with the baby
       D/F#                A
I just phoned and told her I was working
   D                  D/F#
We didn’t quit til we closed the bar
D
Jay put it all on the company card
       G             D/F#             A
Didn’t cost me nothin’ hell who was I hurtin’


🎸 Chorus:
      D          A/C#
But I paid for it
       Bm               A
When I crawled into bed in the dark
       G          D/F#
Yeah I paid for it
     A
Next day when she said babe you’re working too hard
D               A/C#
I don’t know if it’s true
    Bm                      D
But part of me believes she knew
G                 D/F#      A
I guess even when you don’t you really do
       Bm          G
Yeah I paid for it
       Bm          G
Yeah I paid for it


🎸 Verse 3:
D                     A
They told me he might not have long
    Bm                    D
And I was looking at that ticket home
             G      D                 A
And thinking it was more than I could spend
D           A/C#            Bm           D
But however much it was the money didn’t matter much
        G              D/F#    A
When my phone began to buzz at 2am


🎸 Chorus:
     D
So I paid for it
      Bm                   D
Every goodbye hug and talk in his truck
  G          D/F#
I paid for it
     A
From playing checkers on the living room rug
   D                       A/C#
To standing here crying in the rain
Bm                A
All that love for all this pain
    G        D/F#            A
But hey, I’d make that trade any day
A
Because it’s so worth it
