[Intro]
E F#m A B E
[Verse 1]
E Send out some invitations E Gonna have me a big celebration A E I'm giving up everything I thought was mine E If your love for him is stronger F#m Let's not drag it out much longer A B E I'm ahead if I can quit while I'm behind
[Verse 2]
E Ain't got much left to hold on to E It ain't worth what I might go through A E And this old heart of mine can't try much more of that E Drinking coffee at my learning F#m Your love won't be returning A B E I'm ahead if I can quit while I'm behind
[Chorus]
A B E I'll be ahead if I can quit while I'm behind A B E I'll be ahead if I can quit while I'm behind
[Bridge]
A You know I'd pull a gun on the way I feel E If I thought my heartaches would run A And if I put cotton wool in my ears long ago E I wouldn't know the life that I know now A B E I'm ahead if I can quit whilе I'm behind
[Interlude]
E F#m A B E
[Verse 3]
E I'd write a song about something rеal funny A E If I thought somebody might laugh E I'd write a song about a whole lot of money A E If I thought I could get me some cash A I'd write a song about the trip I'm on E I wish I'd never taken L-U-V B Love sure got me on a big fat bummer A E And it sure 'nuff working on me
[Guitar Solo]
A E A E
[Chorus]
A B E And I'm ahead if I can quit while I'm behind A B E I'll be ahead if I can quit while I'm behind
[Outro]
E F#m A B E
