This next one's really like terribly sad.
It's like the saddest damn song in the world
Usually at the big rock show everybody's drinking having a good time now.
I'll say is everybody having fun
They'll be like yeah, and then I'll say well.
We'll fix that

[F#] [G#]
We did me and drained your glass
[F#] Cross leg head on the bar stool like nobody sits anymore
Said Andy you're taking me home
But I knew she planned to sleep alone.
I
Carry her to bed sweep If [E] I
Dirt [F#] before she got sick
[B] Never hear [G#m] the end of it.
[F#] She don't have the spirit
[G#]
We
Drink these drinks and laugh out loud
[F#] bitch about [G#m] the [B] weekend crowd [F#] and try to ignore the elephant son
[G#]
[F#]
She said Andy you crack me up
Seagram's in a coffee cup
She crop her eyes and the hair on stall home
She got drunk she made cancer Joe's made up her own doctor's nose
Surrounded by family.
I saw that she was dying
That singer a classic country [Bm] songs and she get high
[G#m] She [F#]
don't have much voice to sing
I
Burn these joints and effigy cry about [G#m] what we used to be
[F#] Try to ignore yellow
Somehow
[G#]
[F#] Somehow my buried her
thousand times
Giving up my [G#m] place in life, [E] but I don't give [F#] a damn
[G#m]
There's [E] one thing that's [F#] real clear to me [B] no one dies with dignity
We just try ignore yellow song
We just try to ignore yellow
