Came the Closest Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I c[C]ut my hai[G]r off, I wore a tie
[Am]Woke up at [G]seven,
came home at five
[Am]For a while
I traded [G]whiskey for Miller Lite
[Am]And I know your [G]mama calls me polite
[Am]Mr. Right
Aw, but [C]that [G]ain't right

[Verse 2]
'Cause I always gotta [Em]know [D]wha[C]t's
behind [G]the other door
I'm never gonna [Em]be that straight-laced Sunday
[D]Sunday morning [C]man you were [G]lookin' for
Nobody's ever [Em]tied me down in a [G]clapboard house
with some [C]kids and a [G]bed [Am]of roses
But you came the [G]closest

[Verse 3]
[G]
[C]We never [G]married 'cause I never asked
[Am]I left the dia[G]mond under the glass
Someday you'll [Am]be glad
'Cause you'll find [G]somebody
who shaves every day
When your [Am]dad comes [G]around,
he'll know what to say
I just [Am]ain't that way
I just ain't [G]that way

[Verse 4]
'Cause I always gotta [Em]know[D]
[C]what's behind the [G]other door
I'm never gonna [Em]be that straight-laced Sunday
[D]Sunday morning [C]man you were [G]lookin' for
Nobody's ever [Em]tied me down in [G]a clapboard
house with some [C]kids and a [G]bed of [Am]roses
But you came the closest
[G][Am][G]

[Verse 5]
Mov[C]ing [Em]on is the only
[D]thing I know [C]how [Am]to do
Oh, if I [Em]could've stood [D]still,
then I [G]would've stood [D]still with you
[C]

[Verse 6]
But I always gotta [Em]know [G]wha[C]t's
behind the [G]other door
I'm [D]never gonna [Em]be that straight-laced Sunday-mornin'
[D]man man [C]man you were [G]lookin' for
[D]Nobody's [Bm]ever [Em]tied me down in [G]a clapboard
house with some [C]kids and a [G]bed of [Am]roses
But you came the [G]closest[Am][G]
[Am]You came the closest

[Outro 1]
[G][Am][G][C]
