[Verse 1]
C G F Am
Your lips taste like American Spirit
F C F G C
My hands look like it's been a long tour
G F Am
Last night’s failure is 400 miles away
F C G C
But tonight could be alright, if only you'd let me stay
[Chorus]
Am F C
Baby it don't take that long
Dm Am G
And two rights don’t always make a wrong
F C F C
But darling, listen to me, life doesn't have to be
G C
As tragic as it is in my songs
[Break]

C G F Am
This romance is embarrassing it puts your integrity on the line

Kind of like a suicide note without the suicide

Ranging from the depths of what you choose to see
F C G C
Who you choose to love and what you choose to be
[Chorus]
Am F C
Baby it don't take that long
Dm Am G
And two rights don’t always make a wrong
F C F C
But darling, listen to me, life doesn't have to be

As tragic as it is in my songs

D7 F C G
Just like the sassafras that always seems to pass a little bit too soon
D7 F C G
It always comes down to who you love and what you're put on earth to do
[Verse 3]
C G F Am
The mighty kings of England, the mighty kings of Spain
F C F G C
They've all kept there titles but they don't do a thing
G F Am
Now leaving North Dakota you know I kissed the other side
F C G C
I have traveled all this way just to look you in the eye
[Chorus]
Am F C
Baby it don't take that long
Dm Am G
And two rights don’t always make a wrong
F C F C
But darling, listen to me, life doesn't have to be
G Am
As tragic as it is in my songs
[Outro]
F C F C
Oh wo ho ... Darling, listen to me, life doesn't have to be
G C
As tragic as it is in my songs
