I Gave Up (On Trying to Get Over You)
David Allan Coe I Gave Up (On Trying To Get Over You)
F Bb
Everythings the way that you left it baby
C F
The broken heart, the tears and the pain
Bb
I set your plate on the table each night
C F
Just to keep from going insane
Bb
Ive tried whiskey and women
F
Till it didnt matter
C F
If I knew my right from my wrong
F
Then I made a decision
Bb
To live with your memory
C F
Pretending that you wasnt gone.
Chorus:
Bb F
I Gave Up On Trying To Get Over You
C F
I done everything that a man can do
Bb F
To soften the pain when your love was through
C F Fb
I Gave Up On Trying To Get Over You.
F
All of your clothes I hung
Bb
Back in the closet
C F
Next to the bed beside me
Bb
I put your pictures up on the wall
C F
Just the way that they used to be
Bb
I threw lipstick and perfume
F
All over the dresser
C F
And cigarette butts on the floor
F
Its hard to conceive
Bb
Anyone could believe
C F
That you dont live here anymore.
Chorus:
C F Fb
I Gave Up On Trying To Get Over You.
