Tom: F
F
[Verse 1]
F
Christmas wasn't the same without her
Gm
But we put up that tree anyway
Bb F C
Said 'kids don't make a fuss this year, it's just another day'
F
Do my best to keep it normal
Gm
And then it works for a little while
Bb
If he can beat me at a hand of cards
F C
To finally crack a smile
[Chorus]
F
If he still drinks, he'd be drinkin'
Gm
If he still smokes, he'd be lightin' one up
C Bb F C
If he wasn't shuttin' down about right now, he'd be opening up
F
'Bout how he finished all her stories
Gm
And bought her magazines
C Bb F F
The gossip kind from the checkout line she always loved to read
Gm F/A Bb
Tellin' me all about sixty-five years together
Gm C F
But right now he can only talk about the weather
F
[Verse 2]
F
I catch him looking at her favourite chair
Gm
I can almost read his mind
Bb F C
I bet he can see her sitting there, I bet he's going back in time
F
He's thinkin' how they loved like crazy
Gm
And how they fought like cats
Bb
About all the things he misses
F C
Wishin' the good Lord would give her back
[Chorus]
F
If he still drinks, he'd be drinkin'
Gm
If he still smokes, he'd be lightin' one up
C Bb F C
If he wasn't shuttin' down about right now, he'd be opening up
F
'Bout how he finished all her stories
Gm
And bought her magazines
C Bb F F
The gossip kind from the checkout line she always loved to read
Gm F/A Bb
Tellin' me all about sixty-five years together
Gm C Dm
But right now he can only talk about the weather
[Instrumental and vocal ad lib]
[Chorus]
F
If he still drinks, he'd be drinkin'
Gm
If he still smokes, he'd be lightin' one up
C Bb F C
If he wasn't shuttin' down about right now, he'd be opening up
F
'Bout how he finished all her stories
Gm
And bought her magazines
C Bb F F
The gossip kind from the checkout line she always loved to read
Gm F/A Bb
Tellin' me all about sixty-five years together
Gm C Dm
But right now he can only talk about the weather
Gm C F
It's ok, we can talk about the weather
