Tuning: one whole step down (DGCFAD)
C#
C#
Oh oh darling, will you ring me up?
F# G#
will you take me to the drive-in, make a bed of your truck?
C#
oh oh darling, I wouldn't die for you
F# G#
but I might throw down in this dirt 'till these skinny knees turn blue
C# F# G#
just to beg a dance from you
C#
if I believe in it, what wetness fills this cup
F# G#
can I turn it into hope or is it still just some whiskey shot?
C#
If it's money on my mind then it goes down rough
F#
but if it's heartbreak that is drowning us
G# C# F# G#
it goes down easy enough
C#
well if lying up a storm hurts as bad as this
F# G#
why then do you insist lining your pockets with this?
C#
well you ought shovel out your bed and lay for dead in it
F# G# C#
don't be calling me up when you're sad that I don't regret
C#
well ships go down and trains derail
F# G#
tanks overturn and pilots bail
C#
but if there's one thing that I learned in all of this
F# G# C#
it's that sometimes we sink, sometimes we sink before we sail
F# G# C# F# G# C#
sometimes we sink, sometimes we sink before we sail
