SONG: POET'S RESUME ARTIST: TIM MCGRAW TAB BY: DON CZARSKI EMAIL: [email protected] [Intro] C Em F C Em F [Verse]
         C          F        C
Washing dishes at a no name diner

            F                              C
Worked his way up to line cook on the weekdays

         Am         G           F
But his daydream's burning his dish towel he turned in

         C                 F         C
Another dead-end job on a poet's resume
[Verse]
       C          F         C
So he followed a lover out west

           F                       C
Where the sun sets on Pacific Palisades

          Am                G
When she slept with an old boyfriend

    F
It tore him up to no end

              C         F         C
Put all that pain on a poet's resume
[Chorus]
          F                           Em
When you work in heartache you still earn those callouses

 Dm7                  C
Words on a napkin in dead languages

 F                      Em
Everybody loves him but no one ever stays

         Dm7
Another whiskey to unwind

        C/E
Another less than perfect rhyme

         F                G         C
Another wasted line on a poet's resume
C Em F [Verse]
      C                  F              C
Fine line between being free and being lonely

            F                               C
It's blood from a stone and stoned on Percocet

             Am                   G
He don't believe in God but he's praying

       F
He'll find something worth saying

      C                F             C
In a new way no one's ever heard it said
[Chorus]
          F                           Em
When you work in heartache you still earn those callouses

 Dm7                  C
Words on a napkin in dead languages

 F                      Em
Everybody loves him but no one ever stays

         Dm7
Another whiskey to unwind

        C/E
Another less than perfect rhyme

         F                G         C
Another wasted line on a poet's resume
[Break]
        G                 Dm7
And he knows it's in his blood

     C                            G
His blood is on the page and the page will always turn

               G                Dm7
That's how it goes when you're young

         C                               G
When the only thing you're scared of is running out of words
[Instrumental} F Em7 Dm7 C F G [Chorus]
          F                           Em
When you work in heartache you still earn those callouses

 Dm7                  C
Words on a napkin in dead languages

 F                      Em
Everybody loves you but no one ever stays

         Dm7
Another whiskey to unwind

        C/E
Another less than perfect rhyme

       F                       G
Maybe this will be the li-i-i-ine

                C   Em F
On a poet's resume
