Dierks Bentley - Walking Papers
Intro
I (C) never thought I'd see the (G) day
That (C) she'd (D) set me (G) free
Cause you (C) know that little ring on her (G) finger (Em)
Always (A7) felt like a ball and chain to (D7) me
All those (C) threats I made about (G) leavin'
(C) Suddenly be(D)came reali(G)ty
She (C) released me from my death row (G) sentence (Em)
And said we'll (A7) sign the final (D7) papers in a (G) week
She handed (C) me (D) the walking (G) papers
And (C) said (D) you're free to (G) go
And cele(C)brating (D) felt in (G) order
For I (A7) had escaped that prison of a (D7) home
But, (C) sittin' (D) in this old (G) tavern
Sur(C)rounded by my (D) good timing (G) friends
I (C) see I'll never (D) make it on the (G) outside (Em)
And I'm (A7) thinkin' 'bout how I'm (d7) gonna break back (G) in
Solo
(C) Daylight found me sleepin' in my (G) car
On the (C) other (D) side of her (G) street
And the (C) grass that used to be my (G) front yard (Em)
Had (A7) never before looked so (D7) green
And I'm (C) tempted to break for that (G) front door
But, I'm (C) sure she'd (D) sic the dogs on (G) me
Cause it (C) looks like she's got a new (G) inmate (Em)
Cause there's a (A7) pickup in the (D7) drive I've never (G) seen
She handed (C) me (D) the walking (G) papers
And (C) said (D) you're free to (G) go
And cele(C)brating (D) felt in (G) order
For I (A7) had escaped that prison of a (D7) home
But, (C) sittin' (D) in this old (G) tavern
Sur(C)rounded by my (D) good timing (G) friends
I (C) see I'll never (D) make it on the (G) outside (Em)
