[Verse 1]
Am C G
27 years old with a heart of gold outta Tennessee
Am C G
She was head over heels she was hell on wheels coming straight for me
Am C G
She was looking for the one, I was looking for fun and I should’ve known
Am C D
But the time sure flies when you’re telling lies to keep from being alone
[Chorus]
Em D
Couldn’t be last, so I had to be first
Am C
Couldn’t be best so I settled on worst
Em D
Never was right, I was happy with wrong
Am C
Don’t know the words, but I’m singin along
Bm C D
Looking back at how I spent my time with you
G C G
It was the best I couldn’t do
[Verse 2]
Am C G
Well it doesn’t take long for a silly love song to change its tune
Am C G
Leave you feeling confused and a little bit used before too soon
Am C G
So you treasure the days and explain away every missing heart
Am C D
But the time sure flies when you’re telling lies to keep from falling apart
[Chorus]
Em D
Couldn’t be last, so I had to be first
Am C
Couldn’t be best so I settled on worst
Em D
Never was right, I was happy with wrong
Am C
Don’t know the words, but I’m singin along

Looking back at how I spent my time with you

It was the best I couldn’t do

You said Hoooold me

Em C
Toooold me
Bm C D
What you were looking for I’d understand
D7
You stupid man
[Chorus]
Em D
Couldn’t be last, so I had to be first
Am C
Couldn’t be best so I settled on worst
Em D
Never was right, I was happy with wrong
Am C
Don’t know the words, but I’m singin along
Em D
Couldn’t be true so I fed you a line
Am C
Couldn’t be yours, so I made you all mine
Em D
Couldn’t be good so I had to be bad
Am C
I was the worst you never had
Bm C D
Looking back at how I spent my time with you
G C G
It was the best I couldn’t do
