WRONG AS I COULD BE - Key of G

Never was a night in Tennessee
Like this Texas night to me
I feel free
Thought I was the writer of a song
But I was wrong
Wrong as I could be
She wouldn’t leave with me
Said she believed in me
Even if I never could
After we spent our last dime
She said, “Some things take time, Hun,
You always knew it would.”

I used to lie awake at night
I could dream in broad daylight
It was me
I played a thousand smoky bars
No one treats you like a star
When you sing for free
E Am
We spent two years in a cheap hotel
Am/bass G
She sang demos that didn’t sell
Am/bass F#
I pitched songs in a wishing well
Am bass F
I said, “I’m out of this hell.”

She wouldn’t leave with me
G C G D
Said she believed in me
G
Even if I never could…

A E
Listening to the radio
D
Some all-night trucker’s show
A E
I can’t sleep
A E
Then I hear this song I wrote
D
This lady’s voice I know
A
Oh, could it be?

G D
Never was a night in Tennessee
C
Like this Texas night to me
G D
I feel free
G D
Thought I’d never write another song
C
Now I know that I was wrong
G D
Wrong as I could be
