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