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