Chords

Pretty simple, acoustic version so the chords are played open. Standard Tuning. Not 100% correct but pretty close. The only thing that's wrong is that the D in the verse could be a Bm, they both sound like they fit, so they're might be two guitars. Not sure. [Intro] G D A D (x2) [Verse 1]
G           D
 Got caught running up a tab

A                        D
Couldn't drive home so I had to share a cab

G                  D       
Introduced herself by her last name

    A                               D
The kind of girl you steal from the football team

G             D       
 Brought up a silver spoon mess

A                             D
Always trying to tear off her Catholic dress

G              D
 Told me she's over this place

A                          D
Needs to feel the mid west wind in her face

        Bm                   G
But the alcohol made its way down

            Em                                 G
She was the last thing that I saw last night before I hit the ground
[Chorus]
(Pause)          G                  D
Oh god I did the wrong thing to the right girl

   A             Bm
My mind was only in it for a minute

      G                D
Had a bad fling with a good girl

      A                   Bm
I was stupid and dumb not giving a

    G                   D
The blank stare out the window

           A                     Bm
If I could just sober up I could just admit

          G                  D
I did the wrong thing to the right girl

            A                                  G  D
It was your world, baby and I just lived in it

       A                      Bm
It was your world, baby and I just lived in it
[Verse 2]
G                   D              
I've never been the best with my mouth

A                         D
Try to stay smart but the dumb comes out

G                D
Maybe I'm shy, I drive an old car

A                       D
Maybe I'm amazed that I got this far

      Bm                              G
And I got my stand-bys waiting on the line

        Em                              G
But the hardest part is knowing that it won't be her this time
[Chorus]
(Pause)          G                  D
Oh god I did the wrong thing to the right girl

   A             Bm
My mind was only in it for a minute

      G                D
Had a bad fling with a good girl

      A               Bm
I was stupid and dumb not giving a

    G                   D
The blank stare out the window

           A                     Bm
If I could just sober up I could just admit

          G                  D
I did the wrong thing to the right girl

       A                                       G  D
It was your world, baby and I just lived in it

       A                      Bm
It was your world, baby and I just lived in it
[Bridge]
G               D
Please, please, baby come back

A               D
Please, please, baby come back

G               D
Please, please, baby come back

A               D
Please, please, baby come back
[Verse 3]
         G
She came back

                   D
Thought she had it all planned out

        A                      D
Went to marry some guy she had talked about

  G                       D
A tear in her dress and a tear in her eye

    A                        D
And just like that her whole life flashed by

             Bm                                G
She said She won't remember what you said last night

            Em                               G
That if you ever need someone to pick up the pieces in your life
[Chorus]
(Pause)          G                  D
Oh god I did the wrong thing to the right girl

   A             Bm
My mind was only in it for a minute

      G                D
Had a bad fling with a good girl

      A               Bm
I was stupid and dumb not giving a

    G                   D
The blank stare out the window

           A                     Bm
If I could just sober up I could just admit

          G                  D
I did the wrong thing to the right girl

       A                                       G  D
It was your world, baby and I just lived in it

       A                      Bm
It was your world, baby and I just lived in it
(just keep playing G A D Bm) Oh, it was your world All yours (Please, please baby come back [x4] ) Yeah it was your world baby and I just lived in it
