Stuff That Works
written by Rodney Crowell and Guy Clark
CAPO I
INTRO: C F C C F C
I've got an [C]old blue shirt 'n [F]it suits me just [C]fine
I like the way it feels so I [F]wear it all the [C]time
I got an old guitar that won't [F]ever stay in [C]tune
But I like the way it sounds in the [G]dark and empty [C]room
I've got an old pair of boots that fit my feet just right
I can work all day and go out and dance all night
I've got a new used car that runs just like a top
Yeah I get the feelin' it ain't ever gonna stop
CHORUS:
Stuff that [F]works, stuff that [C]holds up
Is the kinda stuff you [G]don't hang on the [C]wall
Stuff that's [F]real, and that stuff you [C]feel
Is the stuff you always [G]reach for when you [C]fall
[F]
I got a pretty good friend who's seen me at my worst
He don't care if I'm a blessin' or a curse
But he always shows up when the chips are down
That's the kind of friend I like to be around
CHORUS
VERSE chords
And there's a woman I love and she's crazy and she paints like God
She's got a playground sense of justice, she don't give odds
I've got a tattoo with her name right thru my soul
And I think everything she touches turns to gold
CHORUS (repeat and fade)
