[Intro 1]
[Am][C][D]
[Am][C][D]
[Am][C][D]
[Am][C][D]

[Verse 1]
She said, [Am]"Andy, you're [C]better
than [D]your past"
[Am]Winked me and [C]drained her [D]glass
Cross-[Am]legged on a [C]barstool,
like [D]nobody sits any[Am]more[C][D]
She said, [Am]"Andy, you're [C]taking [D]me home"
But I [Am]knew she planned to [C]sleep a[D]lone
I'd [Am]carry her to [C]bed, [D]sweep up
the hair from [Am]the [C]floor[D]

[Chorus 1]
If I'd [F]fucked her before [G]she got sick
[C]I'd never [G]hear the [Am]end of it
[F]She don't have the [G]spirit for [Am]that now
We just [F]drink our drinks and [G]laugh out loud
[C]Bitch abou[G]t the wee[Am]kend crowd
And [F]try to ignore the [G]elephant somehow
[Am]Some[C]how[D]
[Am][C][D]
[Am][C][D]
[Am][C][D]

[Verse 2]
She said, [Am]"Andy, you [C]crack [D]me up"
[Am]Seagram's in a [C]coffee [D]cup
[Am]Sharecropper [C]eyes,
and the [D]hair almost all [Am]gone[C][D]
When she was [Am]drunk,
she made [C]cancer [D]jokes
Made [Am]up her own do[C]ctors' n[D]otes
sur[Am]rounded by her [C]family, I [D]saw
that she was dying a[Am]lone[C][D]

[Chorus 2]
But I'd [F]sing her [G]classic country songs
And [C]she'd get [G]high and [Am]sing along
[F]She don't have a [G]voice to sing [Am]with now
We [F]burn these joints in [G]effigy
[C]Cry a[G]bout what [Am]we used to be
[F]Try to ignore the [G]elephant somehow
[Am]Some[C]how[D]
[Am][C][D]

[Chorus 3]
I [F]buried her a [G]thousand times,
[C]given up [G]my pla[Am]ce in line
But [F]I don't give a d[G]amn about t[Am]hat now
There's [F]one thing that's real [G]clear to me
[C]No one [G]dies with [Am]dignity
We just [F]try to ignore the [G]elephant
[Am]somehow
We just [F]try to ignore the [G]elephant
[Am]somehow
We just [F]try to ignore the [G]elephant
[Am]somehow [C]Som[D]ehow
[Am]Some[C]how[D]
[Am][C][D]
