David Allan Coe – I Gave Up (Guitar)

F                             Bb
Everything?s the way that you left it baby

    C                               F
The broken heart, the tears and the pain

                        Bb
I set your plate on the table each night

C                         F
Just to keep from going insane

           Bb
I?ve tried whiskey and women

        F
Till it didn?t matter

     C                     F
If I knew my right from my wrong

       F
Then I made a decision

   Bb
To live with your memory

   C                       F
Pretending that you wasn?t gone.

  Bb                       F
I Gave Up On Trying To Get Over You

  C                      F
I done everything that a man can do

   Bb                        F
To soften the pain when your love was through

  C                        F         Bb F
I Gave Up On Trying To Get Over You.

F
All of your clothes I hung

Bb
Back in the closet

C                      F
Next to the bed beside me

                    Bb
I put your pictures up on the wall

C                              F
Just the way that they used to be

        Bb
I threw lipstick and perfume

    F 
All over the dresser

    C                      F
And cigarette butts on the floor

F
It?s hard to conceive 

Bb
Anyone could believe

C                        F
That you don?t live here anymore.

  C                        F         Bb F
I Gave Up On Trying To Get Over You.
