As recorded by Lucy Dacus (2025 release) [Intro] D [Verse 1]
D                           C          G       D
I never thought I'd see you looking at me this way

       C                    G
Almost vulgar and out of place

                C             G
Like seeing the moon in the day

          Em                   G
I find it hard not to look away

          C                     Em
Hard to believe it's the same face

                 C
I saw twisted in anger

                G               D
I thought you'd hate me forever
[Verse 2]
D               G
Now I feel your hand under the table,

G
At the fancy restaurant

         Em
Gripping on my inner thigh

Em
Like if you don't I'm gonna run

            C
But I'm not going anywhere

C
Least not anywhere you're not

       D
Got me wrapped around your finger

D
Tied in a double knot
[Pre-Chorus]
              G
Just like our legs all double knotted

G
In the morning at the Ritz

  Em
$700 dollar room still drinking coffee from the Keurig

      C
We're soaking up the luxuries on someone else's dime

D
Living the dream before we fully pass our prime
[Chorus]
         C
And when we do

          Em                        D
I'll have time to write the book on you

A                         C
Time to write the book on you

G                         D
Time to write the book on you
[Verse 3]
        G
Sitting on the kitchen counter

G
Counting bug bites on your thighs

      Em
Just another southern summer

Em
Sweating bullets in the highs

     C
Watermelon dripping down your chin

C
Laughing 'til you cry

         D
Sweetest tears I ever tasted

D
Kissing salt out of your eyes

          G
I've been circumventing your pet peeves

             Em
Bending over backwards every time that you say please

             C
I just wanna make you happy

                        D
Will you let me spend a lifetime trying?
[Chorus]
       C
And if you do

          Em                        D
I'll have time to write the book on you

A                         C
Time to write the book on you

G                         D
Time to write the book on you

                          A
Finally time to write the book on you
[Verse 4]
Em                         D
I still believe in God sometimes

                         Cmaj7
It always takes me by surprise

                       A
To catch myself in the middle of praying

Em
But I thank God for you

     D
When I don't know what else to do

      C                                   A
Don't know where the words go but I still say 'em
[Bridge]
Em                    D
If it's not God, it's Fate

                       C
If it's not Fate, it's Chance

                            G
If it's my chance I'm gonna take it

G
Cause who gets the chance

         C          G
Like the one that I have?

   Em             G
To catch the most wanted man in West Tennessee
[Outro]
G                       D
If you let me write the book

         C                G
Open the heart and take a look

G
I promise anything you give me

G
Is something I will keep

                         D
We can burn it when it's done

         C             G
Soot and cinder in the sun

        Am          G           N.C.
Nothing left for anyone to read and weep
