Capo 1st Fret (To Match Recording)
Intro: (E) (B7) (E) (A) (B7) (E)
I (E) can't recall how many times she (A) said shed never leave
Or the (B7) times she swore the only one for (E) her was me
But the angel I was counting on has (A) all but disappeared
And the (B7) only trace of her that's left I (A) find each (B7) night in (E) there
Cause she's just (E) numbers on the jukebox (E7) that I (A) lean on
Theres a (E) little bit of her in every (B7) hurtin' song
I (E) used to hate the thought of her 'til her (E7) memory I for(A)got
Now, I (E) pay to bring her back
Cause she's just (B7) numbers on the (E) jukebox
(E) B-11 takes me back to the (A) first dance we shared
And (B7) A-14 reveals the truth she (E) never cared
One by one they're telling all the (A) stories of my past
And why the (B7) love I thought could never die lies (A) here be(B7)hind this (E) glass
Cause she's just (E) numbers on the jukebox (E7) that I (A) lean on
Theres a (E) little bit of her in every (B7) hurtin' song
I (E) used to hate the thought of her 'til her (E7) memory I for(A)got
Now, I (E) pay to bring her back
Cause she's just (B7) numbers on the (E) jukebox
I (E) used to hate the thought of her 'til her (E7) memory I for(A)got
Now, I (E) pay to bring her back
Cause she's just (B7) numbers on the (E) jukebox
