Old 97's – If My Heart Was A Car (Guitar)

G                     C
I remember the Alamo, I don't recall who won

G                                 C
They had swords, they had horses, I heard we had mighty guns

G                                         C
Like the ones from Navarone last night on Channel 21

D                       C
It's a long way back to El Paso

G                                  C
It was early Monday morning in the Central Standard Zone

G                           C
You were quiet like the TV, hung up like the telephone

G                                        C
You were sleeping next to me, I might as well have been alone

D                       C
It's a long way back to El Paso

G                     D
And if my heart was a car

Am                                     Em
You would have stripped it a long time ago

G                     D
And if my heart was a car

Am                                     Em
You would have stripped it a long time ago.

G                     D
And if my heart was a car

Am
You would have stripped it down and sold it off

Am
To the greasy man in the salvage lot

Am
As it is it's just a heart

D             C
No, no, it ain't worth nothin'

G                               C   
I ain't talkin' 'bout tomorrow, I'm talkin' 'bout tonight

G                                   C
You told me you were drunk already, that don't make it right

G                                            C
You want at me, well, have at it, 'cause I'm in the mood to fight

D                           C
And it's a long way back to El Paso

G                     D
And if my heart was a car

Am                                     Em
You would have stripped it a long time ago

G                     D
And if my heart was a car

Am                                     Em
You would have stripped it a long time ago

G                     D
And if my heart was a car

Am                                     Em
You would have stripped it a long time ago

G                     D
And if my heart was a car

Am                                     Em
You would have stripped it a long time ago

G                     D
And if my heart was a, and if my heart was a

Am                    Em
And if my heart was a car

G                     D
And if my heart was a, and if my heart was a

Am                    Em
And if my heart was a car

G                     D
And if my heart was a car

Am
You would have stripped it down and sold it off

Am
To the greasy man in the salvage lot

Am
As it is it's just a heart

D                      C          
No, no, it ain't worth nothin'
