[Verse 1]
Am                    C                   G
27 years old with a heart of gold outta Tennessee

        Am                      C                       G
She was head over heels she was hell on wheels coming straight for me

         Am                          C                    G
She was looking for the one, I was looking for fun and I should’ve known

        Am                           C                                D
But the time sure flies when you’re telling lies to keep from being alone
[Chorus]
            Em                    D
Couldn’t be last, so I had to be first

            Am                    C
Couldn’t be best so I settled on worst

            Em                     D
Never was right, I was happy with wrong

                Am                    C
Don’t know the words, but I’m singin along

         Bm             C                 D
Looking back at how I spent my time with you

                                G     C    G
It was the best I couldn’t do
[Verse 2]
         Am                      C                   G
Well it doesn’t take long for a silly love song to change its tune

            Am                    C                G
Leave you feeling confused and a little bit used before too soon

         Am                    C                  G
So you treasure the days and explain away every missing heart

         Am                          C                                 D
But the time sure flies when you’re telling lies to keep from falling apart
[Chorus]
            Em                    D
Couldn’t be last, so I had to be first

            Am                    C
Couldn’t be best so I settled on worst

            Em                     D
Never was right, I was happy with wrong

                Am                    C
Don’t know the words, but I’m singin along

         Bm             C                 D
Looking back at how I spent my time with you

                              G    
It was the best I couldn’t do
[Bridge]
          Em     C
You said Hoooold me

   G                D
I didn’t need much more if you’d just

Em       C
Toooold me

      Bm               C            D
What you were looking for I’d understand

           D7
You stupid man
[Chorus]
            Em                    D
Couldn’t be last, so I had to be first

            Am                    C
Couldn’t be best so I settled on worst

            Em                     D
Never was right, I was happy with wrong

                Am                    C
Don’t know the words, but I’m singin along

             Em                  D
Couldn’t be true so I fed you a line

             Am                       C
Couldn’t be yours, so I made you all mine

             Em                  D
Couldn’t be good so I had to be bad

           Am              C
I was the worst you never had

         Bm             C                 D
Looking back at how I spent my time with you

                                G     C    G
It was the best I couldn’t do
