[A][F#][G][D][A][D]

[Verse 1]
Well I wont [D]lie and say I
didn't think the good ones all were taken
Since there [G]aint no peaches falling from
[D]the tree that I've been shaking
And it's solitary [A]sleeping in this
[F#]bed that I've been m[G]aking
[D]Well maybe I should [A]quit
while I'm [D]ahead
Well my intent was being
handed I never laid a hand
And the [G]kindness of my gesture was
a [D]good far cry from grand
They were awful well inten[A]ded,
they were [F#]all that I can s[G]tand
Ah [D]maybe I should [A]quit
while I'm [D]ahead
Chorus 1:
And now [A]darlin if I called you,
could you love me like a kid
Could you [D]love me like you loved me
way back when you really did
[A]Well Darlin if I called you could
you just pick up the phone
Lord, I've been [G]dancing with damnation
and I'm drinking all alone
And I am [D]busted broke and [A]bent and
beat and [F#]'bout halfway to [G]dead
[D]Ah maybe I should qui[A]t while I'm ahe[D]ad, oh Lord,
well maybe I should [A]quit while I'm [D]ahead[G][D][G][D][A][F#]

[A]well you'd say boy[F#] get out of town[F#m][G]
Well [D]maybe I should [A]quit while I'm ahead
[D]Chorus 2:
Now [A]darlin if I called you,
could you love me like a kid
Could you [D]love me like you loved me
way back when you really did
Well [A]Darlin if I called you would
you even talk to me
When I am [G]lit up like a star atop
your favorite Christmas tree
And I am [D]busted broke and [A]bent and beat
and [F#]'bout half way to [G]dead
[D]Ah maybe I should [A]quit while im ahead,
[D]oh Lord well maybe I should qui[A]t while I'm ahe[D]ad[G][D]
