INTRO:
Em C G G
Em C G G
VERSE:
Em C G
She pushed her wedding ring across the counter
Em C G
And said, "Tell me that it's worth more than I think
Em C G
There's a bus to Baton Rouge, leaves in an hour
Em C G
And ninety dollars cash buys me a seat
Am D D
That quarter-carat picture-perfect dream
Am D D
Wasn't all it was cracked up to be
CHORUS:
G G C
But it ain't stolen, it ain't hot
D G
Someone told me it cost a lot
G C C G
Man, ain't that the truth
G C
Thought I'd wear it my whole life
D Em
It never even crossed my mind
Bm C C
Back when it was new
Am D G G C D
It' end up in a pawn shop on Charlotte Avenue
VERSE:
Em C G
He walked in with it slung over his shoulder
Em C G
He said, "Man, you'll never give me a fair price
Em C G
But this young man's town's just watching me get older
Em C G
And the song's I sing don't feed my kids and wife
Am D D
There's a few belt buckle scratches on the back
Am D D
And the B-string tends to fall a little flat
CHORUS:
G G C
But it ain't stolen, it ain't hot
D G
Someone told me it cost a lot
G C C G
Man, ain't that the truth
G C
Thought I'd play it my whole life
D Em
It never even crossed my mind
Bm C C
Back when it was new
Am D G G
It' end up in a pawn shop on Charlotte Avenue
BREAK:
C G
Dreams don't die, even when they're broken
Am
Tomorrow, when that sign says open
G Bm
That guitar, oh, that wedding band
Am C
Will start a new dream, second-hand
[Whispered]:
Bm
Second-hand
Am
Second-hand
D D
Second-hand
CHORUS:
G G C
It ain't stolen, it ain't hot
D G
Someone told me it cost a lot
G C C G
Man, ain't that the truth
G C
Thought I'd own it my whole life
D Em
It never even crossed my mind
Bm C C
Back when it was new
Am D G G C C G
It' end up in a pawn shop on Charlotte Avenue
