Letra

[Intro]
| Em7 G6 | A7sus4 - | Em7 G6 | A7sus4 - |
| Em7 G6 | A7sus4 - | Em7 G6 |

[Verse 1]
A7sus4
      She said,
   Em7               G6       A7sus4
"Andy, you're better than your      past"
      Em7          G6               A7sus4
Winked   at me and drained her glass
        Em7           G6
Crosslegged on the barstool,
     A7sus4             Em7 G6
like nobody sits anymore
A7sus4
      She said,
   Em7          G6     A7sus4
"Andy, you're taking me      home"
          Em7               G6         A7sus4
But I knew   she planned to sleep alone
       Em7           G6       A7sus4
I'd carry her to bed and sweep      up the hair from
   Em7     G6
the   floor

[Chorus]
A7sus4         Cadd9             D
      If I had fucked her before she got sick
   G          Dsus4/F#       Em7
I'd never hear        the end   of it
   Cadd9               D              Em7
She     don't have the spirit for that   now
             Cadd9                    D
We just drink     our drinks and laugh out loud
G           Dsus4/F#       Em7
 Bitch about        the weekend crowd
       Cadd9              D            Em7 G6
And try     to ignore the elephant somehow
A7sus4    Em7 G6 A7sus4
      Somehow

[Break]
               | Em7 G6 | A7sus4 - |
| Em7 G6 |

[Verse 2]
A7sus4
      She said,
   Em7          G6  A7sus4
"Andy, you crack  me      up"
   Em7        G6        A7sus4
Seagrams in a coffee cup
     Em7         G6            A7sus4               Em7 G6
Sharecropper eyes  and her hair      almost all gone
A7sus4                   Em7         G6
      When she was drunk she made cancer jokes
A7sus4        Em7        G6
      Made up her own doctor's notes
A7sus4       Em7            G6
      Surrounded by her family,
     A7sus4                        Em7 G6 A7sus4
I saw      that she was dying alone

[Chorus]
    Cadd9           D
I'd sing her classic country songs
         G        Dsus4/F#         Em7
And she'd get high        and sing along
   Cadd9                  D            Em7
She     don't have a voice to sing with   now
       Cadd9                  D
We burn     these joints in effigy
   G     Dsus4/F#        Em7
Cry about        what we used to be
   Cadd9              D            Em7 G6
Try     to ignore the elephant somehow
A7sus4    Em7 G6
      Somehow
A7sus4     Cadd9            D
      I've buried her a thousand times
G         Dsus4/F#        Em7
 Giving up        my place   in line
     Cadd9                 D          Em7
But I     don't give a damn about that   now
           Cadd9                  D
There's one     thing that's real clear to me:
  G        Dsus4/F#        Em7
No one dies        with dignity
           Cadd9              D            Em7
We just try     to ignore the elephant somehow

[Outro]
           Cadd9              D            Em7
We just try     to ignore the elephant somehow
           Cadd9              D            Em7 G6
We just try     to ignore the elephant somehow
A7sus4    Em7 G6
      Somehow
A7sus4 Em7 G6    A7sus4 Em7
             Somehow
