Turnpike Troubadours – Quit While Im Ahead (Guitar)

            E
Well I wont lie and say I didn’t think the good ones all were taken 

            A                                E
Since there aint no peaches falling from the tree that I've been shaking 

         E        B7               G#                A
And it's solitary sleeping in this bed that I've been making 

     E              B7             E
Well maybe I should quit while I'm ahead

          E                          
Well my intent was being handed I never laid a hand

          A                           E
And the kindness of my gesture was a good far cry from grand

           E          B7                 G#            A
They were awful well intended, they were all that I can stand

    E              B7             E
Ah maybe I should quit while I'm ahead

        B7  
And now darlin if I called you, could you love me like a kid

          E 
Could you love me like you loved me way back when you really did

     B7
Well Darlin if I called you could you just pick up the phone

                A
Lord, I've been dancing with damnation and I'm drinking all alone

         E                B7                 G#             A
And I am busted broke and bent and beat and 'bout halfway to dead

   E              B7              E                   E              B7              E
Ah maybe I should quit while I'm ahead, oh Lord, well maybe I should quit while I'm ahead

  E
Well West Texas in the morning, little darling are you down 

          A                            E
Where the color of the country is your sweet eye shade of brown 

         E              B7                   G#            A
And if I told you how I felt, well you’d say boy get out of town

   E                B7             E
Well maybe I should quit while I'm ahead

    B7
Now darlin if I called you, could you love me like a kid

          E
Could you love me like you loved me way back when you really did

     B7
Well Darlin if I called you would you even talk to me

           A
When I am lit up like a star atop your favorite Christmas tree

         E                B7                G#               A
And I am busted broke and bent and beat and 'bout half way to dead

   E              B7            E                   E              B7             E
Ah maybe I should quit while im ahead, oh Lord well maybe I should quit while I'm ahead

        B7  
And now darlin if I called you, could you love me like a kid

          E 
Could you love me like you loved me way back when you really did

     B7
Well Darlin if I called you could you just pick up the phone

                A
Lord, I've been dancing with damnation and I'm drinking all alone

         E                B7                 G#             A
And I am busted broke and bent and beat and 'bout halfway to dead

   E              B7              E                   E              B7              E
Ah maybe I should quit while I'm ahead, oh Lord, well maybe I should quit while I'm ahead
