VERSE
G D Em7 Cadd9
If there's one thing I can't stand
G D Em7 Cadd9
it's this bar and this cover band
G D Em7 Cadd9
trying to fake their way through 'Castles Made of Sand.'

That's one thing I can't stand.
G D Em7 Cadd9
If there's one thing I can't take
G D Em7 Cadd9
it's the sound that a woman makes

about five seconds after her heart begins to break.
G D Em7 Cadd9
That's one thing I can't take.

Them eyes was big as stars
G D Em7 Cadd9
when I saw you behind the bar.
G D Em7 Cadd9
I guess that's the way to keep on smilin' where you are.
G D Em7 Cadd9
But girl them eyes was big as stars.
G D Em7 Cadd9
It sounds funny when you say my name.
G D Em7 Cadd9

G D Em7 Cadd9
Darlin' I'm not one to judge
G D Em7 Cadd9
but if I was then I'd say you don't look so good.
G D Em7 Cadd9
Got no answers of my own
G D Em7 Cadd9
but with you gone, this place looks bigger than it should.
G D Em7 Cadd9
If there's two things that I hate
G D Em7 Cadd9

Busting ass all day to play 'hurry up and wait.'

That's a few things that I hate.

If I call when I ain't drunk
Bm Cadd9
This old boat'll still be sunk
