Dierks Bentley – Walking Papers (Guitar)

  C                         G
I never thought I'd see the day

     C     D      G
That she'd set me free

          C                            G      Em
Cause you know that little ring on her finger

       A7                            D7
Always felt like a ball and chain to me

          C                    G
All those threats I made about leavin'

C           D          G
Suddenly be came reali ty

    C                             G        Em
She released me from my death row sentence

               A7             D7          G
And said we'll sign the final papers in a week

           C  D           G
She handed me the walking papers

    C    D              G
And said you're free to go

         C       D       G
And cele brating felt in order

      A7                           D7
For I had escaped that prison of a home

     C       D           G
But, sittin' in this old tavern

    C             D           G
Sur rounded by my good timing friends

  C              D              G       Em
I see I'll never make it on the outside

        A7                     D7               G
And I'm thinkin' 'bout how I'm gonna break back in

C                                G
Daylight found me sleepin' in my car

       C     D           G
On the other side of her street

        C                        G          Em
And the grass that used to be my front yard

    A7                     D7
Had never before looked so green

        C                         G
And I'm tempted to break for that front door

         C          D               G
But, I'm sure she'd sic the dogs on me

         C                          G      Em
Cause it looks like she's got a new inmate

                A7            D7               G
Cause there's a pickup in the drive I've never seen

           C  D           G
She handed me the walking papers

    C    D              G
And said you're free to go

         C       D       G
