[Intro 1]
[D][A][Asus4][A][Asus4][G][A][D][G]
[D]

[Verse 1]
Well, [D]the
rain was comin' down sideways
When he [Asus4]made it into the bar
The [G]wa ter got through the hole in his boot
So, [D]he sat down to take it [Asus4]off

[Verse 2]
And [D]he saw me sittin' up
on a barstool
[Asus4]Watchin' TV and drinkin' beer
[G]I said, "What the hell happened to you,
boy
That [D]you wound up in [A]here"

[Verse 3]
So, he [D]told me all about her
And how [Asus4]good things had been
Then how [G]it all got tough with
the money and love
And I was [D]drinkin'
and listenin' [A]to him
[Asus4]When he

[Verse 4]
[D]got to the part about leavin'
And gettin' [A]caught out [Asus4]in the st[A]orm
I [G]took another sip of my beer
Set [D]the bottle down on the [A]bar and said

[Verse 5]
[G]"It's your [D]life
And [G]I'm not [D]you, but if I [A]were
I'd put my foot in the [D]boot
Put the boot in the truck
[A]Put the truck in the roa[G]d
[A]And go home to her[D]"
[G][D]

[Verse 6]
[G]Well, he [D]told me it was complicated
And [A]I just shook my head
[Asus4]Said, "You wanna see[G] hard,
try livin' in bars
Your [D]whole life tryin' to forget"

[Verse 7]
[A]"'C[Asus4]ause I lost[D]
a girl like yours once
And [A]buddy, you better believe
I [G]wouldn't be sittin' here
talkin' to you
[D]If somebody'd said to [A]me"

[Verse 8]
[G]"It's your [D]life
And [G]I'm not [D]you, but if I [A]were
I'd put my foot in [D]the boot
Put the boot in the truck
[A]Put the truck in the roa[G]d
[A]And go home to her[D]"[A]

[Verse 9]
When he [Bm]told her [A]about the [G]rain
The [Bm]boot, [A]the bar and [G]me
I bet [D]she smiled and cried
just a [A]little[Asus4]
[A]

[Verse 10]
He put his [E]foot in [D]the boot
Put the boot in [Asus4]the truck
Put the truck on [D]the [G]road[Asus4]
And went [D]home to her
