Three chords and the truth.
[Intro]
E
[Verse 1]
E
When I first got to Nashville town
They called me in and sat me down
A
And told me all about the ins and outs of writing songs
B
Said write about the things you know about
If there's anything that you don't know about
E
Just stick around and you'll find out before too long
[Verse 2]
E
So I pulled out my guitar and I put my pen to paper
Started working on the groove
A
They could move to all night long
B
Yeah, I poured out my heart soul
Strummed a chord, next thing you know
E
I looked down and I had this song
and it goes
[Chorus]
E
Jesus saves and beers better cold
A good woman's made to love not just to hold
A
Monday through Friday sure takes awhile
E
We all get sideways and go that extra mile
B
The common ways we work and play
Are still alive and well today
Don't need to find a new way to say
E
We don't go out of style
[Verse 2]
E
It may never see a bullet
In a billboard magazine
But then I've never been the kind
A
To go out chasing smoking guns
B
All I know is all of us tonight
Know all the words and we're acting like
E
It'll be a week before the weekend's done, singing
[Chorus]
E
Jesus saves and beers better cold
A good woman's made to love not just to hold
A
Monday through Friday sure takes awhile
E
We all get sideways and go that extra mile
B
The common ways we work and play
Are still alive and well today
Don't need to find a new way to say
E
We don't go out of style
[Solo]
A B
[Chorus]
E
Singing Jesus saves and beers better cold
A good woman's made to love not just to hold
A
Monday through Friday sure takes awhile
E
We all get sideways and go that extra mile
B
The common ways we work and play
Are still alive and well today
Don't need to find a new way to say
E
We don't go out of style
B
Yeah, the common ways we work and play
Are still alive and well today
Don't need to find a new way to say
E
We don't go out of style
[Outro]
Just play E forever
