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

F = 133211 Bb(2) = x13331

Eb = xx5343 Bbmaj7 = x13231

Edim = xx2323 G = 355433

Gm = 355333 C = x35553

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.
