[Verse 1]
A D A/C# BmI hit a real nice line drive through the pines
D GAnd right into my neighbor
D/F# AMr. Simpson’s big bay window
D A/C# BmMe and the guys ran like our pants were on fire
D GTil we were out of breath
D/F# AAnd they never did catch whoever did it
[Chorus]
D A/C#But I paid for it
Bm AEvery time I walked by and he waved hi
G D/F#I paid for it
AEven though it didn’t cost me a single dime
D A/C#I don’t know if it’s true
Bm ABut part of me believes he always knew
G D/F# AI guess even when you don’t you kinda do
D A/C# D AYeah I paid for it
[Verse 2]
D D/F# BmI went out when I got off and tied one on
D GWhile she was home with the baby
D/F# AI just phoned and told her I was working
D D/F#We didn’t quit til we closed the bar
DJay put it all on the company card
G D/F# ADidn’t cost me nothin’ hell who was I hurtin’
[Chorus]
D A/C#But I paid for it
Bm AWhen I crawled into bed in the dark
G D/F#Yeah I paid for it
ANext day when she said babe you’re working too hard
D A/C#I don’t know if it’s true
Bm DBut part of me believes she knew
G D/F# AI guess even when you don’t you really do
Bm GYeah I paid for it

D AThey told me he might not have long
Bm DAnd I was looking at that ticket home
G D AAnd thinking it was more than I could spend
D A/C# Bm DBut however much it was the money didn’t matter much
G D/F# AWhen my phone began to buzz at 2am
[Chorus]
DSo I paid for it
Bm DEvery goodbye hug and talk in his truck
G D/F#I paid for it
AFrom playing checkers on the living room rug
D A/C#To standing here crying in the rain
Bm AAll that love for all this pain
G D/F# ABut hey, I’d make that trade any day
ABecause it’s so worth it
[Outro]
