Zac Brown's version of a Wood Brothers' song. Straightforward chords on this one.
Your choice whether you want to play or mute the A and E strings on the F.
I think they sound good played in the verses.

Verse:
      Am            C              F            C     
As I sit on the edge of this never made bed

Am           C           F            C      
Old guitar in my lap a new tune in my head

           Am               C              F              C      
There she stands in the doorway just brushin' her hair

It's my beautiful muse in her underwear

And if I was thinking I'd be thinking thank God... whoever you are

         Am          G             F      C   
For the muse and this old guitar   

      F           C          F              C            
Itâ???s times like these so sweet and so true

Verse:
      Am            C             F           C     
As I sit on the end of this dirty old bar

           Am                  C             F             C     
Tryin' to work some things out and not gettin' too far

       Am               C                 F            C      
And I drown out the voices that are keepin' me down

           Am           C             F               C      
There's a muse all alone on the other side of town


Chorus:
     F          C                 F                C                    F     
And if I was thinking I'd be thinking thank God... whoever you are

             Am                 G           F      C   
For all the whiskey in this dirty old bar   

 F           C          F            C       
Times like these so sad but so true

 F                C                 G           Am    
Thinking's the last thing that you wanna do

Verse:
      Am            C             F          C      
As I sit on the bed in this hospital room

 Am            C              F           C       
Sheddin' a tear for the bride and groom

         Am         C                 F            C     
And the tiniest voice starts to bellow and cry

         Am             C          F              C     
It's my finest work yet if today I should die


Chorus:
     F          C                 F                C      G   
And if I was thinking I'd be thinking thank Go---d

         Am              G               F            C      
For the muse and the miracle right here in my arms


 F            C          F              C      
Times like these so sweet and so true

 F                C                 G           Am    
Thinking's the last thing that you wanna do

       F                C                 G           Am    
Yeah, thinking's the last thing that you wanna do

Yeah, thinking's the last thing that you wanna do
