I Wrote The Book

Written by Jake Bugg

Capo on 2nd fret
	  		 

Intro: G 

Verse 1:

G I took a wrong turn down a dead-end street C And fell into another bar C I shook off the rain, pulled up a seat G And drowned my weary heart G An old man sat down next to me C With years etched on his face C He said "You better take it easy son G Or you'll never leave this place" G I laughed and bought another drink C And a double for him Too C I told him all my struggles G And the hell I'm going through Em D The broken dreams, the things I've seen C And the people I've let down C Hе raised a glass and half a smile D And bought another round

G And hе said, "Don't tell me C 'Cause you know I wrote the book" G D "And trouble's been my shadow for so long" G "But the words I wrote C Am They won't do you any good" C D "You gotta live your life D G Before you're dead and gone"

Verse 2:

G We laughed and cried for hours C As we drank away the night C He spoke of sins and celebrations G The stories of his life Em D "Son, you think you've got it tough C As bad as it can get" C "But I've seen my share of ups and downs D And you ain't seen nothing yet" D "You ain't seen nothing yet"

G So hе said, "Don't tell me C 'Cause you know I wrote the book" G D "And trouble's been my shadow for so long" G "But the words I wrote C Am They won't do you any good" C D "You gotta live your life D G Before you're dead and gone"

Bridge:

Em The lights go up D We've had too much C And everyone's gone home C But let's have one more for the good times D And one more for the road D One more for the road
