Brad Paisley – Tin Can On A String (Guitar)

          G
After the breakup,

                      Gmaj7
I really thought we'd make up.

                  Em
Give her a little time, I'd be on her mind

                   C
And suddenly she'd wake up.

                 G
But today if you listen,

                  D
Softly off in the distance,

                 Em
Somewhere 'cross town, you can hear the sound

                 C
Of wedding bells ringing.

            C
And there's bird seed on the concrete,

    G                D
And she's waving goodbye

                    C
And they're driving away

    G                       D                   C
And everybody cheerin' them on as the taillights fade

     G            D
Yeah she's really gone,

              C   D          D7
I thought someday that would be me

                      G                 D
But now she's driving away in that limousine

                C
And I'm holdin' on

       D             G
Like a tin can on a string.

             G
Somewhere in my mind,

               Gmaj7
I'm the one by her side.

            Em
In that backseat, talkin' 'bout the beach

                  C
And that honeymoon flight.

                   G
I'd play the whole thing out,

                 D
From the kids to the house,

       Em                            C
To the future that we always dreamed about.

            C
But there's bird seed on the concrete,

    G                D
And back here in reality

              C
She's driving away

         G                  D                   C
And everybody cheerin' them on as the taillights fade

     G            D
Yeah she's really gone,

              C   D          D7
I thought someday that would be me

                      G                 D
But now she's driving away in that limousine

                C
And I'm holdin' on

       D            G
Like a tin can on a string.

              C   D          D7
I thought someday that would be me

                      G                 D
But now she's driving away in that limousine

            Em                      C
And I'm not ready to let go of everything

               G              D
So I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on

                    G
Like a tin can on a string.
