SORRY YOU ASKED Dwight Yoakam D/E
(D) YOU’LL BE SORRY YOU (G) ASKED ME THE (D) REASON
THAT SHE’S NOT HERE (G) WITH ME (A) TONIGHT
I (D) KNOW YOU WERE (G) PROBABLY JUST (D) ASKIN’ POL (G) ITE
BUT YOU’LL BE (D) SORRY YOU (A) EVER ASKED (D) WHY
(G) WE STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS IN AUGUST LAST YEAR
BUT THINGS HAVE BEEN KINDA ROUGH FOR QUITE A WHILE
AND YOU KNOW WHEN YOU THINK IT’LL WORK ITSELF OUT
YEAH WELL (A) MISTER THAT’S ALL TOO WRONG FOR A
(Tacet) LONG, LONG, MILE
(CHO)
(G) AND I SHOULD HAVE SEEN WE WERE DRIFTING APART
BUT I WAS IN WHAT I GUESS YOU’D CALL THE NIGHT
AND I’D ALWAYS HEARD YOU SAY YOU’LL BE THE LAST TO KNOW
YEAH WELL (A) BUDDY I WAS LAST FOR A
(Tacet) LONG, LONG WHILE
(CHO/Trumpet Solo)
(G) OK, WE BOTH HAVE THE TENDENCY TO OVER REACT
SO I CAN’T REALLY TELL YOU WHO’S AT FAULT
THERE WERE CERTAIN THIRD PARTIES, HER SISTER FOR ONE
HELPED (A) BRING OUR RECONCILING TO A
(Tacet) DROP DEAD HALT
(CHO) Modulate to E repeat Chorus
AREN’T YOU SORRY YOU (B) EVER ASKED (E) WHY
SHE’S NOT HERE (B) WITH ME TO (E) NIGHT
AREN’T YOU SORRY YOU (B) EVER ASKED (E) WHY
Stop - then:
DID I (A) TELL YOU HOW SHE TRIED TO HAVE ME LOCKED
OUT OF THE HOUSE
AND HAD TO GO HIRE A LAWYER AT HOME
BUT I KNOW IT WAS MOSTLY HER FAMILY’S IDEA
I CAN (B) HEAR HIM TELL HER WHAT TO SAY EVERY
(Tacet) TIME I CALLED
(CHO)
Have fun.
