[C#m] [D] [B]
[E] [C#m] [A] [B]
[E] I was [C#m] learning how [D] to love, [B] and loving to [E] learn.
I fell for [A] a girl one county [D] north of the town where I [E] was born.
She was [C#m] the most athletic [D] senior in [B] the school where her mama [E] taught her.
[C#m] Popular and well [D] respected, everything that [E] I was not.
[C#m] [E] [B]
[E] But I took a [C#m] chance and stole [D] a kiss, in [B] her daddy's living [E] room,
then drove [C#m] home lonely in [E] the dark, a [B] trembling heart and hands [E] unglued.
Setting [C#m] myself up [D] for heartbreak, [B] what could she see [E] in me?
Strong out [C#m] with no plans for [D] the future, white trash filthy [E] eyes.
[C#m] She [D] [B] was [E] too good for me, [C#] [D] [B] she was [F#m] too good for me.
[G#m] When she went off [A] to college,
[F#m] [E] I followed her [A] out west.
[F#m] She hid [E] the books and I hid [A] the bar rules.
[F#m] My head [E] in the clouds with [A] all the rest.
Oh, she was [E] too good.
[A] [D] [B]
[E] We [C#m] got married early [D] summer, [B] at an old plantation [E] home.
Both [C#m] got jobs and [D] started paying, a [B] mortgage and [E] student loans.
A [C#m] dog and cat like our [D] two children.
[B] We'd all sit and watch [E] TV till the [C#m] glass of whiskey [D] I was drinking, turned into [E] two and three.
[A] [D] [B]
[E] We [C#m] both knew something [D] was missing, about the [B] time that our first young [E] one came.
We [C#m] trimmed a room with our [D] alma mater, and [B] picked out a good [E] boy's name.
I [C#m] watched in awe there as [D] she labored, [B] never felt so close [E] to her.
[C#m] Hand in hand through [D] every hour, [B] it was all so [E] new.
[C#m] [D] [B] I cried, honey, you're [E] too good for [C#m] me, [D] [B] still [F#m] too good for me.
Now [E] I hear them giggling [A] down the hallway,
[F#m] man I [G#m] wish I had the [A] time to play.
[F#m] But I've [G#m] got a lot of [A] work to do here,
[F#m] yeah we've [G#m] got another one [A] on the way.
Oh, it's [C#m] all too good, [D] [B]
[E] too good for [C#m] me.
[D] [B]
[F#m] I [E] ain't seen God, but I [A] know he's out there,
[F#m] cause that [G#m] woman still sleeps [A] to the left of me.
[F#m] I've got [G#m] more than any [A] man could ask for.
[F#m] Lord, [G#m] you've been too good, you've [A] been too good to me.
