Steve Earle

^F# I was almost outta here nearly this ^C# time
^D#m I saw you ^D#m/C# in my ^F# rear view mirror and I pulled up on a ^C# dime
^D#m But nothing ventured ^F# nothing lost
^F# You can't say we didn't ^C# try
^D#m That is ^D#m/C# unless you ^F# weighed the costs of every tear we c ^C# ried
^F# Why do we do this to each ^D#m9 other ^D#m
C# I guess we were always poison ^B lov ^C# ers ^F#
F# If you could look me in the eyes
And tell me what you ^C# see
^D#m Maybe y ^D#m/C# ou can ^F# tell me why I let you torture ^C# me
I ^D#m know that your ^F# lips are soft and they sing the sweetest ^C# songs
^D#m But I've been ^D#m/C# listening ^F# long enough
My heart has turned to ^C# stone
^F# Why do we do this to each ^D#m9 other ^D#m
C# I guess we were always poison ^B lov ^C# ers ^F#
SOLO
^F# And Another time another place
Another wind to ^C# blame ^D#m cover ^D#m/C# every ^F# track and trace
I'll find you just the ^C# same
And ^D#m even if we m ^F# ade our peace
And went our separate ^C# ways
^D#m You'd go west and ^F# I'd go east
And we'd meet here in this ^C# place
^F# Why do we do this to each o ^D#m9 ther ^D#m
C# I guess we were always poison ^B lov ^C# ers
^F# Why do we do this to each o ^D#m9 ther ^D#m
C# I guess we were always poison ^B lov ^C# ers ^F#
