        Em            G                 D
I got a picture of us back when we were close

          Em           G           D
Before we had somebody picking out our clothes

        Em     G               D
But you always dressed in your Sunday best

     Em             G               D
Even when we didn't have nowhere to go

        Em            G            D
I got a picture of us playing in a bar

         Em         G              D
And your shirt cost more than your guitar

        Em        G             D
But you played so heavy and you always let me sing

  Em          G                   D
A couple even though you were the star

C         G            D
I was the worse of the two of us

C         G            D
But Rex's Blues wasn't through with us

C                  G         D        Am
You were bound for glory and grown to die

C                  Em   G
Oh, but why wasn't I?

D          Em    G    D
Why wasn't I?

      Em             G             D
Saw a picture of you laughing with your child

      Em              G          D
And I hope she will remember how you smiled

        Em              G               D
But she probably wasn't old enough, the night somebody sold you stuff

     Em              G        D
That left you on the bathroom tiles

      Em             G        D
Got a picture of you dying in my mind

          Em                  G             D
With some ghosts you couldn't bear to leave behind

    Em              G                  D
But I can hear your voice ring, as you snap another B-string

        Em             G          D
And you finish off the set with only five

Am                                         C
And for a minute there, you're still alive

C         G            D
I was the worse of the two of us

C         G            D
But Rex's Blues wasn't through with us

C                  G         D        Am
You were bound for glory and grown to die

C                  Em   G
Oh, but why wasn't I?

D          Em    G     D
Why wasn't I?

C              G        D
It's not up to me to forgive you

C                        G           D
For the nights that your love had to live through

C                G               D      Am   C
Now you'll never need to look me in the eye

C        G           D
I am the last of the two of us

C                  G           D
But the Fort Worth blues isn't through with us

C                 G        D       Am
You've traveled beyond the Great Divide

C                  Em   G
Oh, but why haven't I?

D          Em    G    D
Why haven't I?
