I Don^Ã’t Even Try
John Hiatt / Riding with the King 1983
I [1]thought I had your number
There [1]must be some mistake
I dialed [1]6 3 7 E[4]leven Eighty-[1]eight
I [1]got some geezer said his [1]girlfriend's on the town
1 |4 1 |
I said I got the wrong number and I slammed the phone down
4 |b7 4
Thot about it for a minute til the anger went away
|1 |4 1 |
I figure ev'ry dog in town is gonna have his day
4 |b7 4
I could count the teardrops or I could wonder why
|1 |4 1 |
Well I used to be your lover now I don't even try
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/john_hiatt/i_dont_even_try_crd.html )
It was champagne parties and sweet love scenes
Now it's warm beer at midnite and girlie magazines
I stack the empty cans up like a freshman in school
It's the kinda thing you're into when you ain't nobody's fool
Got my socks in the oven somethin's growin' in the sink
I can't begin a peaceful day without a coupla drinks
Ain't had a decent meal since ya made me cry
Well I used to be your lover now I don't even try
[4]Memories[/] take a look at what ya [5]done to me
[5]It's gettin' so all I do is [4]watch T.V.
[4]Can't even prove that I'm a[b7]live[5]
I thought I had your number
There must be some mistake
I dialed 6 3 7 Eleven Eighty-eight
I go some geezer said his girlfriend's on the town
I said I got the wrong number and I slammed the phone down
But I know the number's rite and you're his girl
Tho I wouldn't wanna face it for the whole wide world
If you don't come back baby, I think I'm gonna die
Well I used to be your lover, now I don't even try
Well I used to be your lover, now I don't even try
