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