Distraction 74 Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

[Strum E chord, and hit 12th fret harmonics]

I was in Elove with your Abeauty

From the Eday you walked my Away.

Oh, how I Ewish that was Aenough to

Have Emade me B7want to Estay.

See, I'm as true as I try to be,

And I must say my girl,

I tried the best to give to you

All of the truest in the world.

But, when I left your house that morning

in that ragged Thunderbird,

I tried so hard to fight the voices

From the devils that I heard.

See, there's a highway to the right of us

I took a year ago,

And since a year ago can't drive past

Without turning down that road.

[Strum E chord]

And GI Cknew it, I Gnever should have Cturned the wheel.

And GI Cknew it, the Gvoices calling Cme weren't real.

GI Cknew it, Glisten to the Csong they sing.

GI Cknew I was Gwrong, and GI Cknew I was Gwrong.

[Repeat Intro, strum E chord, and slide down from 12th Fret on low E]

So, give me a try at describing

Just how difficult it is,

When you kind of love two girls

To figure out which one you miss.

Stumble away from your stairway

With your perfume on my clothes.

Well, I kind of loved two girls

But, now I kind of lost them both.

And I knew it, I never should have turned the wheel.

And I knew it, the voices calling me weren't real.

I knew it, listen to the song they sing.

I knew I was wrong, and I knew I was wrong.

And if I could gather up the damage

That I've rendered in my life,

Place it on a scale and weigh against

The damage done that night.

Then it'd be safe to say

The weight of all I did and didn't do

Would surly float against the lightest wrong

I ever did to you.
