Should've Learned By Now
By Roger Creager
Capo 2
[Verse 1]
GLooks like I Dreally screwed up aGgain
CShould've learned by now that I aint never gonna wGin
I Cknow the reason, I Ddidn’t even ask, GI’ve heard it all from reClationships past G  
Now I’m Don my own agaGin
But Das you Gleave, I say there Dgoes another good Gwoman
CShould’ve learned by now, that I can catch ‘em, but I cant Ghold ‘em
CI take it all with a Dgrain of salt, Gdon’t worry darlin' this Cain’t your faulGt
Sometimes Dyou just gotta know when to Gfold ‘em
[Chorus]
ToDnight I'm down at the dancehall, CI'm a single Gman
I'll be Dlaughin’, and dancin’, and knockin’ ‘em back, and Cthrowin’ caution to the Dwind
You can Csearch my heart for Danswers, and Gwhat I'm all aCbout
GThese are my ways, DI'll never change, you Cshould've learned by Gnow
GI still get down Dwhen I think of Gyou
CI ran you off like a proud card carryin’ Gfool
CThere'll be no Djustifyin’, Gnot even Cworth the tryin’G  
I'm wrong, Dwe both know its truGe
You Dknow I'd Gchange if I Dreally thought it'd Gwork
CI hate bein’ responsible for someone else's hGurt
CLike an old broken Drecord, I Grepeat the same Cmistakes
GThe flames go up and Danother heart gets Gburned
[Chorus 1]
ToDnight I'm down at the dancehall, CI'm a single Gman
I'll be Dlaughin’, and dancin’, and knockin’ ‘em back, and Cthrowin’ caution to the Dwind
You can Csearch my heart for Danswers, and Gwhat I'm all aCbout
GThese are my ways, DI'll never change, you Cshould've learned by Gnow
[Bridge]
CAnd I'll turn it all arDo-uF-n-Cd
[Chorus 2]
TDonight I'm out at the dance hall, CI’m a single Gman
I'll be Dlaughin’, jokin’, drinkin’ and smokin’, cCuttin’ up with all of my Dfriends
And there's Cnothin’ in the world more Dsad than a Gbroken hearted Csinner
GOut in the world, Dhere in this bar, Ctryin like hell to be a Gwinner
[Outro]
GLooks like I Dreally screwed up Gagain,
CShould've learned by now, that I aint never gonna Gwin
