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