Well, I won't lie and say I didn't think good ones all were taken
[A] Since there ain't no peaches falling [E] from the tree
That I've been shaking and it's solitary sleeping [Ab] in this bed
That [A] I've been making [E] Well, maybe I should quit while I'm ahead
Well, my incent was being handy I never made a [A] hand
And the finest of my gestures [E] were good for robbing grand
They were awful [B] well-intended [Ab] They were all that [A] I could stand
[E] Oh, maybe [B] I should quit while [E] I'm ahead
[B] Now, darling, if I called you, could you love me like a kid?
[E] Could you love me like you loved me way back when you really did?
[B] Well, darling, if I called you, could you just pick up the phone?
[A] Lord, I've been dancing with damnation And I'm drinking all alone
And [E] I am but [B] a broken bed and [Eb] beaten about [A] halfway to death
[E] Well, maybe [B] I should quit while [E] I'm ahead
Oh, Lord, maybe [B] I should quit while [E] I'm ahead

[E] Well, it's Texas in the morning Little darling, are you down?
[A] Well, the color of the country [E] is your sweet-eyed, shady brown
And if I told you [B] how I felt, [Ab] you'd say, boy, get out [A] of town
[E] Well, maybe [B] I should quit while [E] I'm ahead
[B] Now, darling, if I called you, could you love me like a kid?
[E] Could you love me like you loved me way back when you really did?
[B] Well, darling, if I called you, would you even talk to me?
When [A] I am lit up like a star off your favorite Christmas tree
And [E] I am but a [B] broken bed and [Ab] beaten about [A] halfway to death
