What Was I Thinking v1  Dierks Bentley



Intro E - C - D - A

[E]Becky was the beauty from south Alabama,
Her [C]daddy had a heart like a nine-pound hammer,
I t[D]hink he even did a little time in the slammer,
[A]What was I thinking?
(Verse 2)
[E]She snuck out one night and met me by the front gate,
Her [C]daddy came out a waving' that twelve gauge,
We [D]tore out of the drive, he peppered my tailgate,
[A]What was I thinking?

(Bridge)
[B]Oh I knew there'd be hell to pay,
[B]But that crossed my mind a little too late,

(Chorus)
Cause I was [E]thinking 'bout a [D]little white [A]tank top,
[G]Sitting' right[E] there in the [D]middle by [A]me,
I was [E]thinking 'bout a[D] long kiss,
[A]Man I gotta ge[G]t,
[E]Goin' where the [D]night might l[A]ead,
B                        D - D - A - A

I know what I was feeling
                       E - C - D - A

But, what was I thinking

(Verse 3)
[E]By the county line, the cop's were nippin' on my heels
Pulled [C]off the road, kicked it in four-wheel
Shut [D]off the lights, tore through a corn field
[A]What was I thinking?

(Verse 4)
[E]From the other side, she was hollerin' "faster"
Took a [C]dirt road, had the radio blastin'
Hit the [D]honky tonk for a little close dancing'
[A]What was I thinking?

(Bridge)
[B]Oh, I knew there'd be hell to pay
[B]But, that crossed my mind a little too late

(Chorus)
Cause I was [E]thinking 'bout a [D]little white [A]tank top,
[G]Sitting' right[E] there in the [D]middle by [A]me,
I was [E]thinking 'bout a [D]long kiss,
[A]Man I gotta ge[G]t,
[E]Goin' where the [D]night might l[A]ead,
B                        D - D - A - A

I know what I was feeling
                       E - C - D - A

But, what was I thinking

(lead chords E - F# - A - E - F# - C - D - E)


(Verse 5)
[E]When a mountain of a man with a 'Born To Kill' tattoo
Tried to [C]cut in, I knocked out his front tooth
Ran [D]outside, hood-slidin' like Bo Duke
[A]What was I thinking?

(Verse 6)
[E]Finally got her home at half past two
Her [C]daddy, in a lawn chair, sittin' on the driveway
Put it in [D]park, and he started my way
[A]What was I thinking?

[G]Oh...what was I thinking
[C]What was I thinking?
                [D]             [D]        [D]                                                 
Then she gave a come-and-get-me grin

[D]Like a bullet, we were gone agai[B]n

(Chorus)
Cause I was [E]thinking 'bout a [D]little white [A]tank top,
[G]Sittin' right [E]there in the m[D]iddle by m[A]e,
I was [E]thinking 'bout a [D]long kiss,
[A]Man I gotta ge[G]t,
[E]Goin' where the [D]night might l[A]ead,
[B]I know what I was feeling,
B                                D - D - A - A

Yeah, I know what I was feeling,
                       E - C - D - A

But, what was I thinking
                     E - C - D - A

What was I thinking?

Outro E - C - D - A
