G D A D
Verse 1:
D
The beach is too hot
D
And the mountains too cold
G
And I’m getting too damn old
D
To be running
A D
Like I use to be
D
The planes too high
D
And the cars too slow
G
To get me where I need to go
D A D
But all I'm after is her memory
Chorus:
G
I bought a house with a big backyard
D
Fancy clothes and a brand new car
A D
When she left she took everything she pleased
A D
Let me tell you she wanted everything but me
Verse 2:
D
What I need is some inspiration

A fifth of booze and a destination

Something to put my mind at ease

I want off my medication
G
I wouldn’t be here in desperation
D A D
But I’m down here begging on my knees

I bought a house with a big backyard

Fancy clothes and a brand new car

When she left she took everything she pleased

Let me tell you she wanted everything but me

D
Can give her the stars and hang off the moon
G
But the suns walk means the flowers bloom

You reap what you saw and you saw what you reap

I know you can't trust me so you can't sleep
D
But don't get down she kick you out
G
That's the way love goes no doubt
D A D
Cause I don't tried everything
Out-Chorus:
G
Bought a house with a big backyard
D
Fancy clothes and a brand new car
A D
When she left she took everything she pleased
A D
Let me tell you she wanted everything but me

Oh, let me tell you she wanted everything but me
