David Allan Coe – I Gave Up (On Trying To Get Over You)

F                             Bb
Everything’s 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
I’ve tried whiskey and women
        F
Till it didn’t 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 wasn’t 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         Bb F
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
It’s hard to conceive 
Bb
Anyone could believe
C                        F
That you don’t live here anymore.

Chorus:
  C                        F         Bb F
I Gave Up On Trying To Get Over You.
