Wasn't I Paying Attention Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][F][Am][F]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
I just had [Am]the strangest
day of [F]my [Am]life
Worse than the last week with my [F]first wife
I let [Dm]John borrow my truck
He said he [C]needed to get some stuff
To pay some [Dm]bills

[Verse 2]
[Am]
[?] City, it's [F]barely [Am]a town
For a place so pretty,
it could bring you [F]way down
He kept his huntin' [Dm]knife titanium-clipped
To To a nylon [C]belt set high
on his hip
For self-defense

[Verse 3]
[Dm]It I[E]t was a regu[Am]lar m[G]orni[F]n'
No [Am]red f[G]lags or [F]warnings
No, [Dm]nothin' suspicious
Wasn't I [E]payin' attention?

[Verse 4]
[Am]
I didn't see the full gas can
he'd set [F]in [Am]the seat
I just nodded and tossed him [F]the keys
Did I see [G]shak[Dm]in' in his hands?
Was he mak[C]in' [G]darker [C]plans
Than usual?
[Dm]

[Verse 5]
[Am]John had been clean
for over [F]a year [Am]now
We all thought he was in the [F]clear now
But it was [Dm]a [?]
talkin' [?] in the day
It was a [C]beast that never [G]goes [C]away
It sleeps in [Dm]your [E][?]

[Verse 6]
It was a [Am]regular [F]mornin'
No [Am]red f[G]lags or [F]warnings
No, [Dm]nothin' suspicious
Wasn't I [E]payin' attention?

[Interlude 1]
[Am][F][Am][F]
[G][Am]

[Verse 7]
Every Sunday [Am]was another
[F]doomsday[Am]
He'd say,
"Last Judgement's not far [F]away"
He talked about [Dm]evil in his blood
He spoke of [C]fire, he spoke of floods
That's how he was
[Dm]

[Verse 8]
It was a [Am]regul[G]ar m[F]ornin'
No [Am]red f[G]lags or [F]warnings
No, [Dm]nothin' suspicious
Wasn't I [E]payin' attention?
It was a [Am]regul[G]ar m[F]ornin'
No [Am]red f[G]lags or [F]warnings
No, [Dm]nothin' suspicious
Wasn't I [E]payin' attention?

[Verse 9]
[Am]
John drove my truck down to [F]the square
[Am]He thought he would
end it all [F]right [F]there
He took off his [Dm]coat, doused himself in gas
Slit his own [C]throat,
climbed back into the cab
And lit the match
[Dm][E]
