Chords

As recorded by Gavin Adcock (2025 release) [Verse 1]
                         Em              Am
I'll probably start some hard drugs, and get me a new tattoo

               Em             Am
I'll find me a fake love that holds me without a clue

            Em                       Am
That you're hard up on my mind while stirred up on my lap

                                     B7
You're a thought that I just can't undo
[Chorus]
                Em           Am     G              Em
If I can't have you, lock me up and throw away the key

                    Am          G         Em
'Cause free ain't a place where I need to be

           Am
I'd be out stealing and killing, trying to chase this old thrill I knew

                Em   Am
If I can't have you
[Verse 2]
G            Em            Am
Toss me in a pine box, and cover me with old red dirt

                Em                Am                      B7
Put a bullet in my head, couldn't be much worse than this hurt
[Chorus]
                Em           Am     G              Em
If I can't have you, lock me up and throw away the key

                    Am          G         Em
'Cause free ain't a place where I need to be

           Am
I'd be out stealing and killing, trying to chase this old thrill I knew

                Em
If I can't have you
[Instrumental Break] Am G Em Am G [Bridge]
       B7
I'd be riding 'round in a ghost town on the outskirts of hell

B7
Don't think I could even live with myself
[Chorus]
                Em           Am     G              Em
If I can't have you, lock me up and throw away the key

                    Am          G         Em
'Cause free ain't a place where I need to be

                 Am
Cause I'd be out stealing and killing, trying to chase this old thrill I knew

                Em   Am
If I can't have you

                Em   Am
If I can't have you
[Outro] Em Am G Em
