A#m7
Fighting like hell
        F#                 C#  G#
Always ended up black-and-blue
A#m
I'd take the blame
        F#                   C# G#
When I never did a thing to you
        A#m
Always dreamed about the outside
 F#
Silverado bow tie
 C#                       G#
Hit the tracks and I was gone
 A#m
Thought about wanting
    F#                C#      G#
To fix this but maybe I don't

Chorus:
                        A#m7              F#
'Cause this ain't your first time on the run
                   C#                         G#
We've been here before chasing what's left of us
            A#m7                     F#
If I had it my way, I'd say we were done
                   C#                   G#
When you left the driveway and left my love
                A#m7
Tell me was it worth it?
                  F#
'Cause I don't deserve this
             C#
I'm sorry I called ya
                    G#
I know that you're working
                  F#
And you're gonna hate this
                 G#
I know we ain't perfect
                            A#m7 F#  C# G#
But damn, girl, this ain't workiiing

Girl, I know right now, you're probably mad as hell
But I can't hold onto you when you've
been holdin' onto someone else (Someone else)
This ain't gonna last and I can't pretend
There's no goin' back to what'll never mend
I wish there was time to talk about it
But what we are is already dead

Chorus

A#m F#            C#    G#
      This ain't working

Chorus

 G#                     A#m    F# C# G# C#
Damn, girl, this ain't workiiiing
