Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]I'd like to send this son[A]g
out to my girlfriend
She's was a [G]feisty one, [D]let's see now

[Verse 2]
I'm [D]sending out invitations
Gonna have me a big celebration
[G]I'm giving up on everything
I thought was [D]mine
Thought was mine

[Verse 3]
If her [D]love for him grows stronger
Why [G]drag this thing out much longer?
I'd be [D]ahead if I could [A]quit
while I'm [G]behind[D]
I'd be [G]ahead if I could [A]quit
while I'm behind
[D]

[Verse 4]
They got most stuff here a hang onto
I don't think it's worth the changes
it put me through, oh [G]yeah
My old heart just don't need all [A]of [D]that,
no, no
Drinkin' coffee, waiting,
I [G]know your love ain't returnin'

[Verse 5]
So I'd [D]be ahead if I could [A]quit
while I'm be[G]hind[D]
I'd be [G]ahead if I could
[A]quit while I'm [G]behind[D]

[Verse 6]
[D]I'd write a song about
something real funny
If I [G]thought every[Em]body [D]would laugh
I'd write a song about
a whole lot of money
If I [G]thought it could bring me some [D]cash

[Verse 7]
[G]I'd write a song about the trip I went on
[Em]I wish[G] I'd never taken
where [Em]you'd [D]be
But always keep me feelin' funny,
[A]girl
You got me honey and you
[G]keep on workin' on [D]me

[Verse 8]
I'd be [G]ahead if I could [A]quit
while I'm [G]be [D]hind
I'd be [G]ahead if I could
[A]quit while I'm [G]behind
[D]
