INTRO: G Am B C C# D G D
We'll say a [G]friend of mine
A fellow I [Am]know [B]real [C]well
[D]Came to me on Friday
He had a [G]story to tell[D]
[G]I've heard it a thousand times
This one hit [Am]close [B]to [C]home[C#]
[D]'Cause the woman who left him
I've taken [G]for my own[D]
CHORUS:
Love leaves you no [G]choice in the matter
There ain't a [Am]damn thing sadder
Than a [D]man in the throws of somethin' [G]real[D]
A woman who [G]lays down beside you
She can't [Am]help or hide you
[D]It don't matter how she wants to [G]feel[D]
So I bought him a round or two
Gave him a talkin' to
Said boy you can't let yourself
Get so far
But you can't tell a man a thing
He's pickin' out diamond rings
When you yourself
Don't know who you are
CHORUS
[D#]
BRIDGE:
My [Em]hands, they used to be a [Bm]young man's hands
[Em]But I worked them to the bo[Bm]ne for one woman
[Em]When she'd even find the time to get to [Bm]know another man
[Am]Leave me alone, he said leave me a[D]lone
SOLO (verse chords)
CHORUS (end on Em)
Oh, [G]it don't [D#]matter how she wants to [G]feel[D][G]
