VERSE 1:

  4   -4  5  5  5  5 -4 4
Blame it all on my r-oo-ts
5   5    -5  5   6
I showed up in boots
-4  -4  -4  -4   -4    5  -4 -3
And ruined your black tie af-fair
-4   -4  -4  -4  -4
The last one to know
-4   -4  -4  -4  -5
The last one to show
-5 -5  -5   -5   5
 I was the last one
 5     5     -5    5    4
You thought you'd see there
 4  -4  5   5   5    5
And  I saw the sur-prise
 5   5   5   -5  5   6
And the fear in his eyes
 -4  -4  -4  -4   -4   5  -4    -5
When  I took his glass of cham-pagne
 3  3  3    3  -4
And I toas-ted you
 -4   -4  -4  -4  5  -4   -5
Said, hon-ey, we may be through
-4   -4    -4  -4  -4  5  -4   -5
But you'll nev-er hear me com-plain

CHORUS:

  6     6   -5     5    3   1   3  -3
'Cause I've got friends in low pla-ces
  4   -4   5   -4    4
Where the whis-key drowns
 4  -3   3    -4   4 -3 -3  -3  -3 -4
And the beer chas-es my  b-lues  a-way
-3   -3  -3 -3 -4
And I'll be ok-ay
 6  -5   5  3   1   1   3   -3
I'm not big on soc-ial grac-es
  4    -4   5   -4  4   4   4  6  5  4
Think I'll slip on down to the o-as-is
4    -4  -4  -4   4   4  -4 5 -5  5   4
Oh, I've got fri-ends in  l-o--w  pl-aces

VERSE 2:
Well, I guess I was wrong
I just don't belong
But then, I've been there before
Everything's all right
I'll just say goodnight
And I'll show myself to the door
Hey, I didn't mean
To cause a big scene
Just give me an hour and then
Well, I'll be as high
As that ivory tower
That you're livin' in

REPEAT CHORUS (2 TIMES)
