Dead Horse

[Verse 1]
Ab             Bb
  Sick of this life,
Gm               Ab
  not that you'd care
            Bb      Eb
I'm not the only one  with whom, these feelings,
I share
Ab       Bb         Gm                Ab
  Nobody understands  quite why we're here
                    Bb     Eb
We're searching for answers  that never appear
Ab           Bb                    Gm
  Maybe if I looked real hard, I'd,  I'd see you trying,
Ab
too
        Bb             Eb
To understand this life  that we're all going through

[Break]
Ab Bb Gm Ab                                      Bb
           "Then when she said she was going to, like,
wreck my car
              Eb
I didn't know what to do"

[Chorus]
    Ab
Oh, sometimes,
                Eb
I feel like I'm beating a dead horse
    Ab                        Eb
And I don't know why you'd be bringing me down
Ab                         Eb
I'd like to think that our love's worth a tad more
   Ab                   Eb
It may sound funny, but you'd think, by now,
       Fm
I'd be smiling
Ab                             Eb
  I guess some things never change
Oh, never change

[Verse 2]
Ab             Bb
  I met an old cowboy,
Gm                      Ab
  I saw the look in his eyes
                        Bb                     Eb
Something tells me he's been here before 'cause  experience
makes you wise
Ab             Bb                   Gm
  I was only a small child when the thought first came to
Ab
me
                            Bb                   Eb
That I'm a son of a gun and the gun of a son that  brought
back the devil in me

[Chorus]
        Ab
Oh, but sometimes,
                Eb
I feel like I'm beating a dead horse
Ab                        Eb
I don't know why you'd be bringing me down
Ab                         Eb
I'd like to think that our love's worth a tad more
   Ab                   Eb
It may sound funny, but you'd think, by now,
       Fm
I'd be smiling
Ab                                   Eb
  Yeah, I guess some things never change
Ooh, never change

[Bridge]
       Cm                          F
I ain't  quite what you'd call an old soul
      Cm                  F
Still,  wet behind the years
           Cm                 F
I've been around this track a couple of times
           Ab                       Bb A5
But now the  dust is starting to clear

[Chorus]
Ab
Sometimes,
                Eb
I feel like I'm beating a dead horse
Ab                        Eb
I don't know why you'd be bringing me down
Ab                         Eb
I'd like to think that our love's worth a tad more
   Ab                   Eb
It may sound funny, but you'd think, by now,
       Ab
I'd be smiling
Eb                Ab
Ooh, yeah, I'd be smiling
Eb              Ab
  No way I'd be smiling
Eb     Ab
  Ooh, smiling
Eb Bb Ab

[Outro]
Ab             Bb
  Sick of this life,
Gm               Ab
  not that you'd care
            Bb      Eb
I'm not the only one  with whom, these feelings,
I share
