Tracy Lawrence – I Threw The Rest Away (Guitar)

  F
I met him in a dive down in New Orleans,

  F
I recognized his handsome face,

       F
It was none of my business but I had to know,

            F
What he was doing in this kind of place,

         Bb
Cause he used to have money used to have honeys,

   Bb
He used to be society's prince,

       F
But he still wore a grin when I sat beside him,

    C                        F
And ask where all that money went,

Bb      C
He said some was spent on gambling,

                            F
a lot was spent on women, a little on some good Cabernet,

Bb C
   Three or four divorces, at least as many horses,

     F
that never left the startin' gates,

Am
Diamond rings and furs, swamp land in New Jersey,

     Dm             C         Bb
That week I spent a year in L.A.

            G
You know, I hate to admit it,

C N.C.              F
  I threw the rest away.

        F
He said money don't mean nothing is this game of life,

     F
It's just a way of keeping score

F
Show me a man who's got everything

     F
I'll show you one who wants even more

         Bb
Well, so smoke em' when you got em'

      Bb
cause when you hit bottom, you gotta have a reason to smile,

F
You can have a little piece of the rock,

     C                      F
I'll take a little peace of mind,

Bb      C
