Loose Strings

Tom: C

C             F                 Am
You left your jacket in the back seat
               Gsus4
That's why I'm callin' you now
C          F                Am
I found it curled up in a ball
             Gsus4
I was cleanin' the 'yota out
C           F                    Am
Swing by the house anytime you want
   Gsus4          F
Or I can drop it off


[Verse 2]
C        F                Am
You know whiskey makes me honest
 Gsus4
Tequila makes you mean
C              F               Am
Last thing I remember you were cussin'
   Gsus4
My keys were in the weeds
C
You threw 'em out
F                         Am
Said "I'd love to see you leave
Gsus4                  F
But I won't let you go kill yourself

Or get busted by the po-po"


[Chorus]
     Am               F
So I staggered home alone
      F                  Am
Still thinkin' about you
            F                     
I'm through talkin' about all the things we can't change
Am               F
It's hard movin' on
                      Am
I don't want you gone
         F
Ain't it strange the way we keep tryin' to tie down this thing
                 C      F     Am    Gsus4 x2
With these loose strings


[Verse 3]
C        F                  Am
Baby, if we weren't so hard-headed
  Gsus4
Maybe we wouldn’t fight
C      F                   Am
And if you weren't so darn pretty
             Gsus4
I might have slept last night
C       F               Am
You say you can't live with me
        Gsus4              F
Ah, but you can't live without

It's the little things I think about


[Chorus]
       Am               F
When I staggered home alone
      F                  Am
Still thinkin' about you
            F                     F
I'm through talkin' about all the things we can't change
Am               F
It's hard movin' on
F                     Am
I don't want you gone
         F
Ain't it strange the way we keep tryin' to tie down this thing
                    Dm
With these loose strings


[Bridge]
         Am                F
Ain't no "What it's gonna be," babe
         F                Dm
What you get is what you see, babe
       Am                 F
We can try and lock it down
         
It might hold for now
                     
But that ain't you and me


[Outro]
C       F               Am
We keep tyin' ourselves down
           Gsus4
With these loose strings
C     F              Am
Every time I turn around
Gsus4
Loose strings
C          F               Am
The two of us just tangled up in
Gsus4
Loose strings
C     F              Am
Every time I think I love you
Gsus4  C  F  Am
Loose strings
Gsus4  C  F  Am
Loose strings
Gsus4  C  F  Am
Loose strings
Gsus4  C  F  Am Gsus4  C
Loose strings
