Happy Ever After You

[Intro]
C F C
F         C                F
 I got an old half pack of black Pall Malls

[Verse 1]
      C
I can smoke 'em now,
            F
won't get no shit at all
      G                       F
I got half a mind to give you a call
            C                F
But I ain't chasin' after you
          C                   F
There's a little more room in my chest of drawers
        C                F
I got a fistsize mark in my bedroom door
      G                   F
I got half a mind or probably more
         C              F
To cover up this old tattoo

[Chorus]
        Dm                        F
I got a hole in my heart damn near the size of Texas,
                    C
and I think you left it
        Dm
I got a picture of you and me,
     F
circa twenty nineteen
                     C
Don't know why I kept it
        G                                F
I got a story I tell myself until my face is in the blue
             C          F        C F
But I got no happy ever after you

[Verse 2]

F        C                 F
 I got a new blue Chevy in my front yard
          C                 F
Under the dogwood where our names are carved
       G                      F
And my pride's parked in that same spot
            C               F
Guess it'll be there till I move
           C                   F
I got them words you said still ringin' out
       C
"I love you, babe,
         F
but it's too late now"
      G                       F
I got memories walkin' 'round this house
         C              F
That just won't turn me loose

[Chorus]
        Dm                        F
I got a hole in my heart damn near the size of Texas,
                    C
and I think you left it
        Dm
I got a picture of you and me,
     F
circa twenty nineteen
                     C
Don't know why I kept it
        G                                F
I got a story I tell myself until my face is in the blue
             C          F        C F
But I got no happy ever after you
C F C F C
F        Dm                        F
 I got a hole in my heart damn near the size of Texas,
                     C
and you know you left it
        Dm
I got a picture of you and me,
     F
circa twenty nineteen
                     C
Don't know why I kept it
        G                                F
I got a story I tell myself until my face is in the blue
             C          F
But I got no happy ever after you
