At Least You Left Me A Song
Eric Shaw
Capo 1
[Intro]
D G D G
[Verse]
D G
I found escape in the bottom of a bottle
D A
I found hope in the next cigarette
Bm A D G
There’s a way to move on from the fact that you’re gone
G A
But I ain’t figured that one out yet
D G
The drawers in your nightstand were empty
D A
Only my coat in the closet still hung
Bm A D G
This life on the road caused this love to grow cold
G A
Guess it’s easier to pack up and run
[Chorus]
G A D
It’s a cold cold spot left beside me
G A D
In the bed where you used to lay
G A D
And it’s a cold cold shoulder you’re turning
Bm A
I guess there’s nothing more left to say
G A D
But I’ll get by with six strings and whiskey
G A Bm
Small stages and old microphones
G A Bm G
I couldn’t promise to stay, you never promised to wait
A D
At least you left me a song
[Verse]
D G
I was hoping by now I’d have made it
D A
Playin' sold out shows every night
Bm A D G
And I could give you the world, diamonds and pearls
G A
But I guess I’ll admit you were right
D G
But honey I’ve still got your memory
D A
And some chords from this old LG0
Bm A D G
Your midnight farwell gave me a story to tell
G A
You might hear it on your radio
[Chorus]
G A D
It’s a cold cold spot left beside me
G A D
In the bed where you used to lay
G A D
And it’s a cold cold shoulder you’re turning
Bm A
I guess there’s nothing more left to say
G A D
But I’ll get by with six strings and whiskey
G A Bm
Small stages and old microphones
G A Bm G
I couldn’t promise to stay, you never promised to wait
A D
At least you left me a song
[Bridge]
C G D
Well all I can say is I’m sorry
C G D
I remember the promises I made
Bm A D
But any dream worth chasing comes with a price
G A
And this one I’m willing to pay
[Chorus]
G A D
It’s a cold cold spot left beside me
G A D
In the bed where you used to lay
G A D
And it’s a cold cold shoulder you’re turning
Bm A
I guess there’s nothing more left to say
G A D
But I’ll get by with six strings and whiskey
G A Bm
Small stages and old microphones
G A Bm G
I couldn’t promise to stay, you never promised to wait
A Bm
At least you left me a song
G A Bm G
I couldn’t promise to stay, you never promised to wait
A D
Now you're gone At least you left me a song
