Chords for I Had to Give That Up Too - Sammy Kershaw/ Jamie Lin Wilson

_ _ _ _ I gotta tell you, I _ _ _ _ don't record a song _ _ unless [B] I've lived it.
_ _ When you [Bm] listen to my albums, all my [B] songs, _ you _ _ gotta know that I've lived every one of those songs. _ _
_ _ And a lot of people say, how in the world could a [Bm] guy live off of [B] songs like that?
_ _ _ Well, _ _ _ I started when I was 20.
_ [E] _ _ _
_ [B] I grew up fast, _ real fast. _
_ _ _ And [E] I've _ been through some good ones, _ but boy, I've been through some bad ones.
_ _ [B] And like I said, _ I didn't ask the guys to run [G] this song for the night,
_ _ but I found out earlier _ [B] _ _
that one of the co-writers of it _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
was here [Bm] tonight. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ And I would like for her to come up here _ _ [Bm] _ _ _
_ _ and _ _ _ _ _ play [B] _
_ _ the _ song while I try to sing it live. _ _ _ _ _
_ [N] Miss Jamie Wilson, I didn't know that she was a singer when I heard her [B] come. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] I don't have a song.
I don't have a song. _ _ _ _ _
[Dbm] _ _ A, _ _ _ _ what do you call it, scrap?
_ _ Oh, this hill will [Bm] get old, man.
_ [Dbm] _ _
_ _ _ _ But this _ _ _ song, and you know what? _ _ _
_ And I'm not [G] joking, this is my favorite song on this album _
_ because I just happened _ to go through this [B] song again _ _ _ _ in the last few days.
_ _ No joke.
I mean, you can't even know that. _ _
_ _ _ See, I'm [Bbm] not a great songwriter, folks, _
[B] _ but I appreciate _ songwriters _ _ _
_ because they write a lot _ _ of stories _ that I have lived. _ _ _ _ _
_ Just like this song right here, I'm going to try it.
Like I said, [E] I've never done it live. _
Thank you very much. _
[B] _ _ Do you like [Bm] me?
_ _ _ [G] On stage?
_ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Yeah. _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Dbm] _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _
I love that.
_ She told me a story earlier.
She didn't even know that I had cut the song and then I put it out a couple of months ago.
I'll put it out, though.
_ _ Isn't that cool?
[Dbm] That's good. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _
If [B] you don't mind, I would like to do my favorite song _ [G] off this new album of mine.
_ [Bm] _ _ _ _
_ And like I said, I've lived this song a couple of times in my life.
I [B] lived it again a few days ago. _
[Gb] _ [B] I want to do it for you, so I [E] had to give that up, too.
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Dbm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ [Dbm] _ _ _ _
[Gb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Dbm] _ _ _
_ When I _ started drinking it was gin _
[Gb] _ _ Just one or [Bbm] two every now and then _ _
_ _ Didn't know when to take me in _
[Ab] _ When it _ nearly hit [Bb] me _ _
[Gb] _ _ _ _ _ [Db] _
_ [Ab] Kinda _ [Bbm] like you
_ I _
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
[Gb] _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] had to give that up _
[Db] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ But [Bbm] I missed the _ _ _ _ taste _
[Gb] I missed the high
_ _ _ _ [Db] _
And the way you made _ _ me _ [Ab] _
burn _ _ _ inside
_ [Eb] _ _ [Bbm] Until it knocked me _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Gb] down
I found _ my _ _ voice _ _ [Dbm]
when I loved you more
[Bbm] _ _ _ _ _ [Bb]
Than it loved _ _ _ me
_ _ _ [Bbm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ Kinda like _ [Bbm]
I _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
[Gb] _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] had to give that up, too
[Db] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Db] _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ _ [Dbm] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ _
[Db] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ What's that next line? _ _ _ _ _
_ Oh yeah, here we go.
Bought me a _ _ cigarette _ _
And [Gb] three months I ain't been on that
[Bbm] _
_ Didn't _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _
mean to _ [Bbm] drown
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Ab] Kinda _ like [Bbm] you _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[Gb] _ _ _ _ I [Ab] had to give that up
[Db] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bbm] But I missed the _ _ _ taste _ _
I [Gb] missed the high
_ _ _ _ _ [Db]
And the way you made _ _ me _ _
[Ab] _ burn _ _ inside _ _ _ _
[Bbm] Until it knocked me down
_ _ _ _ _ _
[Gb] I found my _ _ _ voice _ [Db] when I loved you _ more _ _ _ _
Than [Ab] it loved _ me _ _ _ _ _
[Gb] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ Kinda _ like [Bbm] you _ _ _ _
I _ [Bb] _ _ _
[Gb] _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] had to give that up, too
[Db] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ I [Bb] wish I could _ [Bbm] hang
_ _ _ _ _
Just [Gb] one or two
_ _ _ [Db] But I'll say something _ _
_ _ _ _ [Ab] That I _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bbm] Oh, I've made my _ _ peace
_ _ With what [Gb] _ I _ am
Oh, _ [Db] I've missed just some things
_ _ _ _ I [Ab] just _ can't help
_ _ _ _ _ _
[Gb] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ I'm _ [Bbm] like you _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _
[Gb] _ _ _ _ [Fm] I [Ab] had to give that up _
[Db] _ _ _ _ _ _
