Tuned half step down 
He alternates between an A country rhythm (A,A/F#,A/G) and E (E,E/C#,E/D)
[Verse]
AIf I'm walking I'm tripping over my two feet
If I'm Dtalking I don't know my Aname 
AI got hit by a bus in the middle of the street
Just Ejumped up and walked away 
AI been banging my head like a wood pecker babe 
DLaughing like I've gone B7insane 
You gave a Ahammer for a heart and Ecotton candy for a Abrain
[Chorus]
AI said E-M-I-L-Y why Dwhy tell me AEmily 
AYou got me wrapped around your finger like a chain around a D-O-EG, Yeah 
AI said E-M-I-L-Y why Dwhy tell me AEmily 
AOh, women like you are Etrouble with a capital AT 
[Verse]
AStaying out so late that I can't tell the difference between 
The Dmorning and night Abefore 
ACrash a slip n' side party with a keg of beer 
For the Efour year old twins next door
AI built a sand castle big enough for two 
And I Dgathered all the shells at B7shore
I'd Agive 'em all to Eyou but you'd just ask for Amore 
[Chorus]
AI said E-M-I-L-Y why Dwhy tell me AEmily 
AYou got me wrapped around your finger like a chain around a D-O-EG, Yeah 
AI said E-M-I-L-Y why Dwhy tell me AEmily 
AOh, women like you are Etrouble with a capital AT 
[Solo]
ASo what's it goin to be baby you tell me 
All this Dwaitin is becoming a Acrime 
AYou got me stressing out, breaking out, 
Chinese take out Ejust about every night 
AWell don't step over a dollar
If you're Dtrying just to pick up a B7dime 
I've been Acalling out your name I Eguess I'll do it one more Atime 
[Chorus]
AI said E-M-I-L-Y why Dwhy tell me AEmily 
AYou got me wrapped around your finger like a chain around a D-O-EG, Yeah 
AI said E-M-I-L-Y why Dwhy tell me AEmily 
AOh, women like you are Etrouble with a capital AT 
AI said, women like you are Etrouble with a capital AT
