Brad Paisley - It Never Woulda Worked Out Anyway (tab)
By axehappy - axehappy@
I think these chord shapes are the easiest way to play this song, so I've
tabbed it how I played it.
Nearly all barre chords, but easy enough if you can change chords quickly.
Bb = 688766 Dm = x57765
Dbm = x46654 Cm = x35543

Edim = xx2323 G = 355433

INTRO
Bb Dm Dbm
Oh lighten up, where's your sense of humor?
Cm F
They're just tiny little rumors
Cm F Bb(2) F
That I started 'cause I'm lookin' out for you.
Bb Dm Dbm
Oh settle down, I'm just a little jealous,
Cm F
And I'm sure those other fellas
Cm F Bb(2)
Never once believed the lies I told were true.
Eb Bbmaj7
Like the time I told that cowboy that you used to be a man,
F Bmaj7
And the doctor you were datin' that you hide your wedding band.
Eb Edim Bb(2) G
Even if I am responsible for scaring them away,
Cm F Cm F
You really ought to thank me, I was doin' you a favour,
Cm F Bb
'Cause it never woulda worked out anyway.
Bb Dm Dbm
Oh can't you see, the reason that I'm doin'
Cm F
All the crazy things I'm doin',
Cm F Bb(2) F
Is because I really care about you girl.
Bb Dm Dbm
And I'll admit I go a little farther
Cm F
Than I know I probably oughta,
Cm F Bb(2)
But it's all because I need you in my world.
Eb Bbmaj7
Like the time I told that lawyer that you spent a year in jail,
F Bmaj7
And the salesman you were seein' you hang out at cheap motels.
Eb Edim Bb(2) G
Even if I am responsible for scaring them away,
Cm F Cm F
You really ought to thank me, I was doin' you a favour,
Cm F Bb
'Cause it never woulda worked out anyway.
Bb Dm Dbm Cm F Cm F Bb(2) F Bb Dm Dbm Cm F Cm F Bb
INSTRUMENTAL
Cm F Bbmaj7
I can't stand the thought of you with anybody else,
Cm F Gm C F F# F
I know I've gone overboard but I can't help myself.
Eb Bbmaj7
Like the time I told that dentist you had seven little kids,
F Bbmaj7
And you doubled as a dancer at the strip joint on the ridge.
Eb Edim Bb(2) G
Even if I am responsible for scaring him away,
Cm F Cm F
You really ought to thank me, I was doin' you a favour,
Cm F Bb
'Cause it never woulda worked out anyway.
Cm F Cm F
It's all because I love you and I can't stop thinkin' of you,
Cm F Bb
And it never woulda worked out anyway.
