Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][C][Dsus4][Am][Dsus4][Am][Dsus4][Am][Dsus4]
She [Am]said, "Andy,

[Verse 1]
you're better than [C]your [Dsus4]past"
[Am]Winked at me and drained [C]her [Dsus4]glass
Cross- [Am]legged on [C]a barstool, like n[Dsus4]obody
sits any[Am]more[C][Dsus4]
[Am]She said, "Andy,
you're taking [C]me [Dsus4]home"
But [Am]I knew she planned
to sleep [C]alone[Dsus4]
[Am]I'd carry her to bed,
[C]sweep [Dsus4]up the hair from[Am] her floor[C][Dsus4]
If [Am]I'd fucked

[Verse 2]
[F]her before she[G] got sick
[C]I'd never [G]hear the en[Am]d of it
[F]She don't have the [G]spirit for [Am]that now
We just [F]drink our drinks and [G]laugh out loud
[C]And bitch [G]about the [Am]weekend crowd
[F]And try to ignore the [G]elephant
some[Am]how[Dsus4]

[Interlude 1]
Somehow
[Am][Dsus4][Am]
[Dsus4][Am][Dsus4]

[Verse 3]
She said, [Am]"Andy,
you crack [Dsus4]me up"[Am]
Seagram's in a coffee cup
[Dsus4][Am]
Sharecropper eyes,
and the [Dsus4]hair almost all [Am]gone[Dsus4]
When she [Am]was drunk,
she made cancer [Dsus4]jokes
Made up [Am]her own [C]doc
tors'[Dsus4]notes
Surroun[Am]ded by her family,
[Dsus4]I saw that she was dying alone
[Am]

[Verse 4]
[Dsus4]
But I'd [F]sing her [G]classic country songs
And [C]she'd get [G]high and sing [Am]along
[F]She don't have a voice
[G]to sing with now[Am]
We [F]burn these joints in ef[G]figy
And [C]cry [G]about what we [Am]used to be
[F]Try to ignore the [G]elephant
some[Am]how[Dsus4]
Somehow
[Am]

[Verse 5]
[Dsus4]
I [F]buried her [G]a thousand times,
[C]given up my [G]pla[Am]ce in line
But [F]I don't give a d[G]amn
about [Am]that now
There's [F]one thing that's real [G]clear to me
[C]No one [G]dies with dig[Am]nity
We just [F]try to ignore the
[G]elephant some[Am]how
We just [F]try to ignore the
[G]elephant some[Am]how
We just [F]try to ignore the [G]elephant
some[Am]how[Dm][Dsus4]
[Dm]Some[Dsus4] how[Am][C][Dsus4]
Somehow
[Am][Dsus4]
