[Verse]
ESince you turned the tables on me, BI've been steady and learnin' lonely
C#mKeepin' this turntable spinning', Aeverything from Jones to Jennings
ESlowly plannin' my survival, Bin a three-foot stack of vinyl
C#mSince you had to walk on outta here, AI've been havin' a record year
EI bet you thought before you left,BI'd just sit in silence by myself
C#mTurn this house into a jail, Adyin' slow in a livin' hell
But, Elove's got a funny way of keepin' score, Band your leavin' lit up my scoreboard
C#mI usually make it through side A sober, Aall bets are off when I flip her over
One F#mbourbon, one G#mscotch, one Abeer, I'm havin' a record year
[Chorus]
EQuarter notes and BHank's half timeA, are poundin' Bon this heart of mine
ESong to song, BI pass my time, Awith these speakers on ten
EYour good-and-gone keeps me Bup all night, Aalong with Songs In The BKey Of Life
EI'm either gonna get Bover you, or I'm Agonna blow out my ears
Yeah, you're F#mout there now, doin' G#mGod knows how, and AI'm stuck here
Havin' a record year
