It Never Woulda Worked Out Anyway

Brad Paisley

I think these chord shapes are the easiest way to play this song, so I've tabbed it how I played it. Nearly all barre chords, but easy enough if you can change chords quickly. = x57765 = x35543 = x13331 = x13231 = 355433 = x35553 ************************************************************************************** INTRO Oh lighten up, where's your sense of humor? They're just tiny little rumors That I started 'cause I'm lookin' out for you. Oh settle down, I'm just a little jealous, And I'm sure those other fellas Never once believed the lies I told were true. Like the time I told that cowboy that you used to be a man, And the doctor you were datin' that you hide your wedding band. Even if I am responsible for scaring them away, You really ought to thank me, I was doin' you a favour, 'Cause it never woulda worked out anyway. Oh can't you see, the reason that I'm doin' All the crazy things I'm doin', Is because I really care about you girl. And I'll admit I go a little farther Than I know I probably oughta, But it's all because I need you in my world. Like the time I told that lawyer that you spent a year in jail, And the salesman you were seein' you hang out at cheap motels. Even if I am responsible for scaring them away, You really ought to thank me, I was doin' you a favour, 'Cause it never woulda worked out anyway. INSTRUMENTAL I can't stand the thought of you with anybody else, I know I've gone overboard but I can't help myself. Like the time I told that dentist you had seven little kids, And you doubled as a dancer at the strip joint on the ridge. Even if I am responsible for scaring him away, You really ought to thank me, I was doin' you a favour, 'Cause it never woulda worked out anyway. It's all because I love you and I can't stop thinkin' of you, And it never woulda worked out anyway. ************************************************************************************** / = slide up p = pulloff h = hammer-on \ = slide down ************************************************************************************** INTRO (AND THROUGHOUT SONG) E------6-5--4--3----------------------| B-----6---6--5--6-4p3-4-3-------------| G--6/7-----7--6------5---5-4-3-3h5----| D-----------------------------5---3---| A-------------------------------------| E-------------------------------------| LEAD GUITAR SOLO (halfway through instrumental) E--6-3-------------------------------------------------------------------1-------3- B-----6-3------------4-3------------------4-----5-4/5-4p2-4-2/3-2-----1-3-4\3---4-- G--------6-5-3----------5-4p3------------4-----6---------3-------3---2-------4/5--- D-------------5-4-3----------5-4p3------------5-------------------2/3-------------- A---------------------------------4/5-5/6--6/7------------------------------------- E---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- E--5p4-3--------------------------------------6---| B-------6-5p4-3----------------------3-3-4/6--6---| G------------5--5-3---------3-3-5p3h5-5-------6---| D--------------7-5-5/6-5p3h5-5----------------5---| A-------------------------------------------------| E-------------------------------------------------| ENDING E------6-5--4--3---------------------------------| B-----6---6--5--6-4p3-3p2p1------------------3---| G--6/7-----7--6------5-----3p1p0-3p1p0-------3---| D-------------------------------------3p1p0--3---| A------------------------------------------1-1---| E------------------------------------------------|
