Aaron Watson - Fool's Paradise
CAPO: 4th Fret
For the Glife of me will her memory 
Keep Fon keeping me aCwake
This Gempty pillow by my head 
Is proof you Fsleep in the bed that you Cmake
Just like a Ffool I did Cnothin 
Nothin Fshort of helping her Cpack
Wish I could Ffind a way 
To find the words to say 
To Gbring my baby back
CHORUS:
I've got a good thing FgoinCg
And she Gain't slowing Cdown
A good thing FgoingC  
Showing no Gsigns of turning aCround
If I could Fgo back and somehow backtrCack
I'd Fundo what I did wrCong
But I've got a bad Ffeeling
My good thing Ggoing is a good thing Cgone
Thought she'd at least call to say that she was okay
'Cause she left me walking the floor
Maybe she was long gone, long before
She ever set foot out that door
I guess over time the love in her heart
Was overshadowed by her heartaches
She didn't scream or shout, she had it all mapped out
And she never even tapped the breaks
CHORUS:
I've got a good thing FgoinCg
And she Gain't slowing Cdown
A good thing FgoingC  
Showing no Gsigns of turning aCround
If I could Fgo back and somehow backtrCack
I'd Fundo what I did wrCong
But I've got a bad Ffeeling
My good thing Ggoing is a good thing Cgone
FThere goes my life down that hCighway
All of my Gdreams slipping further aCway
From this broken hFome
I've gotta Cput the pieces all back Gtogether
CHORUS:
I've got a good thing FgoinCg
And she Gain't slowing Cdown
A good thing FgoingC  
Showing no Gsigns of turning aCround
If I could Fgo back and somehow backtrCack
I'd Fundo what I did wrCong
But I've got a bad Ffeeling
My good thing Ggoing is a good thing Cgone
OUTRO:
I've got a good thing going
I've got a good thing going

Aaron Watson - Fool's Paradise

CAPO: 4th Fret

For the life of me will her memory

F C

Keep on keeping me awake

This empty pillow by my head

F C

Is proof you sleep in the bed that you make

F C

Just like a fool I did nothin

F C

Nothin short of helping her pack

Wish I could find a way

To find the words to say

To bring my baby back

CHORUS:

F C

I've got a good thing going

G C

And she ain't slowing down

F C

A good thing going

G C

Showing no signs of turning around

F C

If I could go back and somehow backtrack

F C

I'd undo what I did wrong

But I've got a bad feeling

G C

My good thing going is a good thing gone

Thought she'd at least call to say that she was okay

'Cause she left me walking the floor

Maybe she was long gone, long before

She ever set foot out that door

I guess over time the love in her heart

Was overshadowed by her heartaches

She didn't scream or shout, she had it all mapped out

And she never even tapped the breaks

CHORUS:

F C

I've got a good thing going

G C

And she ain't slowing down

F C

A good thing going

G C

Showing no signs of turning around

F C

If I could go back and somehow backtrack

F C

I'd undo what I did wrong

But I've got a bad feeling

G C

My good thing going is a good thing gone

F C

There goes my life down that highway

G C

All of my dreams slipping further away

From this broken home

C G

I've gotta put the pieces all back together

CHORUS:

F C

I've got a good thing going

G C

And she ain't slowing down

F C

A good thing going

G C

Showing no signs of turning around

F C

If I could go back and somehow backtrack

F C

I'd undo what I did wrong

But I've got a bad feeling

G C

My good thing going is a good thing gone

OUTRO:

I've got a good thing going
