[Verse]
A E DIt's pretty cold in Nashville
A E DMid-November
BmI don't ever remember
A E DAnother winter quite this cold
BmExcept for January 2003
F#mWe were young and hungry, running like thieves
DBut the fortune that we had
ECould not be be told
[Verse]
A E DOh everybody said
A E DWe were wasting our time
BmBut I don't wanna die with ya
A E D'Til you were cooking on the line
BmI was young, I had a chip on my shoulder
F#mYou were tall, maybe five years older
DWe got drunk and made love
EOn the very first night
[Chorus]
F#m DOh love and pain, it comes in waves
A C#But it was quite nothing those early days
F#m DWe were wild as wolves my darling
A E DWe were strays
A E DWe were strays
A E D
A E D
[Verse]
A E DWhere we didn't have no money
A E DAnd the heat was off
BmAll that December we shared
A E DA twin bed and a cough
BmYou were skinny but full of hunger
F#m I was wise, just five years younger
DCouple of drop-outs, oh
EBut we still got off
[Verse]
A E DNo two week notice
A E DYeah we slipped through the cracks
BmLeave in the middle of the night
A E DWith the clothes on our backs
BmCan't be a loser with nothing to lose
F#mAnd beggars are choosers with nothing to choose
DWe didn't buy in to sell out
EWe got out while we can
[Chorus]
F#m DNo it ain't luck and baby it ain't fate
A C#To just follow your gut and be up and wait
F#m DMaybe there's a little something there
A E DFor all the strays
A E DWe were strays
A E DWe were strays
A E DWe were strays
A E D A E D A E DOh we were straaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaays
A E D A D AWe were strays
