View chords used in this chart
HOO
Em G Em A Em
I ain't no man, go back to the king
Tied up my suitcase, gonna see what trouble brings
B
All the sheep are black, said I ain't convinced
Em
Took a trip to the smoke, and she hasn't been back since.
HOO
Em G Em A Em
Barely dressed, looking for love along the plateau
The girls are young, a little dumb and they're going it alone
B
My boys it's all the same tonight, you've got to make a choice
Em
No need to serenade her now, don't waste that pretty voice
Chorus
C A
Yea but this is life we're living
Em
Life ain't always 'bout forgiving
G C
She's my lady in a summer dress
A
This is life we're living
Em
Life ain't always bout forgiving
Em G Em A Em
Up and to the station, I took her on back home
I hadn't seen the bed in months but, I hadn't been alone
B
I got pulled over, whiskey at my feet
Em
Bumped it to the hospital, blood came pouring out of me
HOO
C A
Yea but this is life we're living
Em
Life ain't always 'bout forgiving
G C
She's my lady in a summer dress
A
The last thing that you'll see
She come looking for me
She come looking for me
She gonna find me on the floor
C
She'll find me on the floor
A
And this is life we're living
Em
Life ain't always 'bout forgiving
G C
She's my lady in a summer dress
Em
She'll find me on the floor x3
Em G Em A Em
