[Intro]
G D/F# Em C G
G D/F# Em C G
[Verse 1]
G D/F# EmRed dirt dust on the back of your jeans
C G DMain Street fading like a worn-out dream
C D G D/F# EmNeon in the window of the Dairy Queen hums
C DAnd I thought you were the only one
G D/F# EmYour mama’s voice in a screen door slam
C G DRunning to the truck dragging my hand
C D G D/F# EmWe’d park by the feed store just to waste time
C DThought love was a merry Go round we could ride ‘til it died
[Chorus]
G D/F# EmBut you weren’t good, even when you were good
C G DBite my tongue, maybe I should
G D/F# EmLooked like gold in that late July light
C DBut rust don’t care if it’s painted white
Em C G D/F# Em COh but You weren’t good, even when you were good
[Verse 2]
G D/F# EmWe’d drive backroads out on County Road 9
C G DSmoke on your breath, cheap cherry wine
C D G D/F# EmYou laughed like sin on a Sunday pew
C DGuess I was too naive to see you
G D/F# EmThe Quick Stops gone, and so is that heat
C G DSeen more good than lies and deceit.
C D G D/F# EmI’ve known the world past the quad state line
C DTurns out it’s best when your world ain't mine
[Chorus]
G D/F# EmBut you weren’t good, even when you were good
C G DBite my tongue, maybe I should
G D/F# EmLooked like gold in that late July light
C DBut rust don’t care if it’s painted white
Em C GOh but You weren’t good, even when you were good
[Bridge]
Em D CNow I’m breathing air that smells like rain
G DOn tin roofs holding all that pain
Em D CCoffee’s strong, and the morning’s true
G DAnd I don’t wake up thinking of you
[Outro]
G D/F# EmGuess Oklahoma keeps her ghosts, some in the fields, some in the folks
C DBut me, I’m long gone, and better for it
Em C GYou weren’t good, even when you were good
G D/F# EmBut you weren’t good, even when you were good
C G DBite my tongue, maybe I should
G D/F# EmLooked like gold in that late July light
C DBut rust don’t care if it’s painted white
Em C G D/F# EmOh but You weren’t good, even when you were good
C G D/F# Em C GEven when you were good
