F Comes on over Wants to drown his sorrows Got a two-seater sofa And some whiskey in a bottle Dm Broke and in tears A# C With weight of the world on his shoulder F Oh my God Sam What's happened to you Says his wife's just left him With his two year old daughter Dm A# To live in Acapulco with some idiot C She only met a couple months ago I wish I could tell you that Gm If it was me C I would be a good wife F I would never doubt you Dm Ours would be a good life Gm And we could be C Better than so many F I would never stress you A# C About bringing home the plenty F For all these things Dm Another life I'll have to wait Would have been perfect If only God had wanted it Gm But you'll never know and we'll get old C Let's not talk about it, rest your head upon my shoulder Chorus: F You'll never know, you'll never know You'll never know the good life Dm A# You'll never know the good life F You'll never know the good life Somebody once told me that there are watchers and there are do'ers in this world Guess I'm a watcher, not by choice It's just what I was hurled We're just two friends It's not a risky situation I wish I could tell you that If it was me I would be a good wife I would never doubt you, ours would be a good life And we could be better than so many I would never stress you about bringing home the plenty For all these things another life I'll have to wait Would have been perfect if only God had wanted it But you'll never know when we'll get old Let's not talk about it, rest your head upon my shoulder Chorus Rest your head upon my shoulder (I'm too tired, you can see) Now that life's a little colder (I could love you simply) And even if you'll never know (Wouldn't leave if it was me) My love will never run away like the sunshine Good time friend not just the good times For all these things another life I'll have to wait Would have been perfect if only God had wanted it But you'll never know when we'll get old Let's not talk about it, rest your head upon my shoulder Chorus You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA# C Dm F Gm Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
