[Intro]
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
[Verse 1]
Cadd9 Dsus4 G
My check engine lights been on for a couple weeks
Cadd9 Dsus4 G
The whole kitchen shakes when I run that washing machine
Cadd9 Dsus4 Em7 G
By the looks of the ceiling there’s rain getting in through the roof
Cadd9 Dsus4 G
I don’t wanna have to fix you too
[Chorus]
Cadd9 G
Maybe we could be something somewhere down the road
Cadd9
And I know that a younger me couldn’t sit here now
G Dsus4
And tell those green eyes “no”
Cadd9 Dsus4
But you’re a fixer upper if there ever was
Em7 G Cadd9
And I need some work myself to tell you the truth
Cadd9 Dsus4 G
I don’t wanna have to fix you too
[Verse 2]
Cadd9 Dsus4 G
And I could teach you how to love a woman like me
Cadd9 Dsus4 G
Wouldn’t be my first or second time, got a few tricks up my sleeve
Cadd9 Dsus4 Em7 G
I keep taking the broken and thinking that I’ll be the glue
Cadd9 Dsus4 G
But I don’t wanna have to fix you too
[Chorus]
Cadd9 G
Maybe we could be something somewhere down the road
Cadd9
And I know that a younger me couldn’t sit here now and
G Dsus4
tell those green eyes “no”
Cadd9 Dsus4
But you’re a fixer upper if there ever was
Em7 G Cadd9
And I need some work myself to tell you the truth
Cadd9 Dsus4 G
I don’t wanna have to fix you too
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Dsus4
[Bridge]
Em7
When you get your shit together
Dsus4
When your edges ain't so rough
Em7
When you’ve done a little living
Cadd9 Dsus4
Done a little growing up
[Chorus]
Cadd9 G
Maybe we could be something somewhere down the road
Cadd9
And I know that a younger me couldn’t sit here now and
G Dsus4
tell those green eyes “no”
Cadd9 Dsus4
But you’re a fixer upper if there ever was
Em7 G Cadd9
And I need some work myself to tell you the truth
Cadd9 Dsus4 G
I don’t wanna have to fix you too
Cadd9 Dsus4 G
I don’t wanna have to fix you too
