Chord Wasn't I Paying Attention by Amanda Shires

Verse 1 Dm Bb Dm Bb Dm Bb I just had the strangest day of my life Dm Bb Worse than the last week with my first wife Gm I let John borrow my truck F He said he needed to get some stuff Gm To pay some bills Verse 2 Dm Bb Dm Nome ain't a city, it's barely a town Bb For a place so pretty, it could bring you way down Gm He kept his huntin' knife titanium-clipped F To a nylon belt set high on his hip Gm A For self-defense Chorus Dm C Bb It was a regular mornin' Dm C Bb No red flags or warnings Gm No, nothin' suspicious A Wasn't I payin' attention? Verse 3 Dm Bb Dm I didn't see the full gas can he'd set in the seat Bb I just nodded and tossed him the keys Gm Did I see shakin' in his hands? F Was he makin' darker plans Gm Than usual? Verse 4 Dm Bb John had been clean for over a year now Dm Bb We all thought he was in the clear now Gm But it wasn't God talkin' to him that day F It was a beast that never goes away Gm A It sleeps in your brain Chorus Dm C Bb It was a regular mornin' Dm C Bb No red flags or warnings Gm No, nothin' suspicious A Wasn't I payin' attention? Dm Bb Dm Bb Verse 5 Dm Bb Every Sunday was another doomsday Dm Bb He'd say "Last Judgement's not far away" Gm He talked about evil in his blood F He spoke of fire, he spoke of floods Gm That's how he was Chorus Dm C Bb It was a regular mornin' Dm C Bb No red flags or warnings Gm No, nothin' suspicious A Wasn't I payin' attention? Dm C Bb It was a regular mornin' Dm C Bb No red flags or warnings Gm No, nothin' suspicious A Dm Wasn't I payin' attention? Verse 6 Bb John drove my truck down to the square Dm Bb He thought he would end it all right there Gm He took off his coat, doused himself in gas F Slit his own throat, climbed back into the cab Gm A And lit the match
