As I Amsit on the Cedge of this nFever made bCed
Old gAmuitar in my laCp, a new tFune in my hCead
There she sAmtands in the dCoorway just brFushin' her Chair
It's my bAmeautiful muCse in her FunderwCear
[Chorus]
And iFf I was tChinkin' I'd be Fthinkin' thank CGodC  F  C  
whoeFver you aCre
For the muAmse and tChis old guiFtarC  
The Amtimes like tChese so swFeet and so Ctrue
FThinkin's the lAmast thing that yGou wanna Cdo
[Instrumental]
Am   C    F    C
Am   C    F    C
[Verse 2]
As I sAmit on the Cend of this Fdirty old Cbar
Tryin' to wAmork some things oCut and not gFettin' too fCar
And I Amdrown out the voiCces that are kFeepin' me Cdown
There's a Ammuse all Calone on the oFther side of tCown
[Chorus]
And iFf I was tChinkin' I'd be Fthinkin' thank CGodC  F  C

For all thAme whiskeCy in this dFirty old Cbar
The Amtimes like tChese so saFd but so trCue
FThinkin's the lAmast thing that yGou wanna Cdo
FThinkin's the lAmast thing that yGou wanna Cdo
[Instrumental]
Am   C    F    C
Am   C    F    C
[Verse 3]
As I sAmit on the Cbed in this Fhospital rCoom
SheddiAmn' a tear Cfor the bridFe and grooCm
The tiAmniest voicCe starts to Fbellow anCd cry
It's my fAminest work yCet if Ftoday I should dCie
[Chorus]
And iFf I was tChinkin' I'd be Fthinkin' thank CGodC  F  C
