F#m              E                           A
Right now he's probably slow dancing with a bleached-blond tramp, 
            B
and she's probably getting frisky... 
F#m               E                        A                            B
right now, he's probably buying her some fruity little drink cause she can't shoot whiskey...
F#m               E                            A                      B                  A
Right now, he's probably up behind her with a pool-stick, showing her how to shoot a combo... 
              C#
And he don't know...
 
        F#m          A                  E                      B
That I dug my key into the side of his pretty little suped up 4 wheel drive,
F#m               A               C# 
carved my name into his leather seat...
          F#m                    A 
I took a Louisville slugger to both head lights,
E                  B 
slashed a hole in all 4 tires...
     A                     E                 F#m   E A C#
And maybe next time he'll think before he cheats. 

Right now, she's probably up singing some 
white-trash version of Shania karoke.. 
Right now, she's probably saying "I'm drunk" 
and he's a thinking that he's gonna lucky, 
Right now, he's probably dabbing 3 dollars worth of that bathroom Polo... 
And he don't know... 

That I dug my key into the side of his pretty little suped up 4 wheel drive, 
carved my name into his leather seat, 
I took a Louisville slugger to both head lights, 
slashed a hole in all 4 tires... 

And maybe next time he'll think before he cheats. 
A        E                               B
I might saved a little trouble for the next girl,
          D                        E      
Cause the next time that he cheats... 
                                F#m E A B      
Oh, you know it won't be on me! 
                F#m E A C#
Ohh... not on me...

Before He Cheats

Intro: C F C G

       C
Where 69 meets 40, 

There's a single stop light town, 
     F
And back when I was really young, 
 Am                      G
Part of that burned down, 
    C
On any given Friday night, 

We'd drive a hundred miles, 
              F
Between the Sonic and the Grocery Store, 
  Am                   G
Laughin' all the while, 
         Am             G
With as many friends as I could pack, 
 F
In my daddy's Ford, 
       Am   G     F             C
But I ain't in Checotah anymore. 

     C
My hotel in Manhattan, 
             F         
Holds more people than our town, 
         C
And what I just paid for dinner, 
                   G
Would be a down payment on a house, 
                Am              G
I'd rather be tippin' cows in Tulsa, 
              F
Then hailing cabs here in New York, 
       Am   G     F             C
But I ain't in Checotah anymore. 


Chorus:
                F
I'm in a world so wide, 
                   C
It makes me feel small sometimes, 
           Am             G
I miss the big blue skies, 
          F
The Oklahoma kind. 
      

       C
In a world of long red carpets, 
             F
The bright lights of Hollywood, 
            C
All the paparazzi flashin' 
            G
Can make a girl feel pretty good, 
               Am         G
You can get anything you want here, 
  F            
Except a Wal-Mart store, 
       Am   G     F             C
But I ain't in Checotah anymore. 


Chorus:               
                F
I'm in a world so wide, 
                   C
It makes me feel small sometimes, 
           Am             G
I miss the big blue skies, 
          F
The Oklahoma kind. 
          
       
             G
Where the Wildcats beat the Ironheads, 

Old Settler's day and the Okrafest, 

After prom down at the bowling lanes, 

Catchin' crappy fish in Eufaula lake, 
   Am   G     F             Fsus4
I ain't in Checotah anymore. 

F C Fsus4 F   G  
         Oh Yeah...

Chorus: 
                F
I'm in a world so wide, 
                   C
It makes me feel small sometimes, 
           Am             G
I miss the big blue skies, 
          F
The Oklahoma kind, 
       Am   G     F
But I ain't in Checotah, 
      Am   G     F
No I ain't in Checotah, 
              Am          G   F
Oh, there's nothing like Oklahoma. 
       
       C
Where 69 meets 40, There's a single stoplight town

I Aint In Checotah Anymore

C                  Bb     C
Said the night wind to the little lamb

C
Do you see what I see? (Do you see what I see?)

C                 Bb     C
Way up in the sky little lamb

C
Do you see what I see? (Do you see what I see?) 

Am
A star, a star

Em
Dancing in the light

       F       G        E7
With a tail as big as a kite

       F       G        C 
With a tail as big as a kite

Do You Hear What I Hear

[Verse]
   
   D                          A
She was driving last Friday on her way to Cincinnati
     Bm                   A
On a snow white Christmas Eve
D                     A      
Going home to see her Mama and her Daddy
         Bm              A 
With the baby in the backseat
      D                       A               Bm            A 
Fifty miles to go and she was running low, on faith and gasoline 
            G
It'd been a long hard year 
          D                       A
She had a lot on her mind and she didn't pay attention 
        Bm            A
She was going way too fast
    D          A
And before she knew it she was spinning
     Bm                  A 
On a thin black sheet of glass
        D                      A
She saw both their lives flash before her eyes
Bm                    A
She didn't even have time to cry
         G                        D
She was so scared, she threw her hands up in the air


[Chorus]

               A
Jesus take the wheel
                E
Take it from my hands
                      Bm      D 
Cause I can't do this on  my  own 
            A
I'm letting go
                    E
So give me one more chance
                  Bm       D
Save me from this road I'm on
               D     A  Bm  A  D  A  G
Jesus take the wheel
 

[Verse]

         D                           A
It was still getting colder when she made it to the shoulder
        Bm            A
And the car came to a stop
      D                     A 
She cried when she saw that baby in the backseat
Bm              A
Sleeping like a rock
             D               A
And for the first time in a long time
    Bm                A
She bowed her head to pray
             G                  D
She said I'm sorry for the way, I've been living my life
  G                                D
I know I've got to change, so from now on tonight


[Chorus]

               A
Jesus take the wheel
                E
Take it from my hands
                      Bm    D
Cause I can't do this on my own
            A
I'm letting go
                      E
Just give me one more chance
                  Bm       D
Save me from this road I'm on
                  A     E  Bm  D 
Oh Jesus take the wheel 
                A
Ohh I'm letting go
                     E
So give me one more chance
                  Bm       D 
Save me from this road I'm on
               Bm       D 
Just from this road I'm on
               A    Bm
Jesus take the wheel
A            D            A
Oh, take it, take it from me
Bm  A      Bm -  A  
Oh  whaaaa ooooh......

18 years have come and gone 
    Em7
For momma they flew by

Hey momma, don't forget 

    G                       D/F#
To tell my baby sister I'll see her in the fall

Tonight I find myself kneeling by the bed to pray 
           A              Bm
I haven't done this in a while 
      G            
So I don't know what to say but 
D               A/C#            Cadd9            G         
Lord I feel so small some times in this big ol' place

Chorus
    A                         G
I'm flat on the floor with my head down low
          D                   G
Where the sky can't rain on me anymore
      A                      G
Don't knock on my door cause I won't come
    D                         G           A
I'm hiding from storm till the damage gets done


G           D                A
Baby, baby, baby, baby tell me why
          G                 D             A
You gotta make me, make me, make me, make me cry, oh Lord
     G             D                     A
If I told you once I told you a thousand times
          Bm
You can't knock me off my feet
          E
When I'm already on my knees


Chorus


Baby, baby, baby, baby tell me how
You think you're gonna live without my love now
I don't know why you gotta keep coming around
Creeping up my street 
Boy you can't bother me


Chorus


Am                        Cm 
You ain't gonna get to me tonight
                                       Am 
I'll lay right here 'til it all blows through
                      
I ain't gonna raise my body
           E
Till there ain't no sign, till there ain't no sign

Till there ain't no sun to you

Em                                  G
It was two weeks after the day she turned 18
               Em                              G
All dressed in white, going to the church that night
            Em                             G
She had his box of letters in the passenger seat
               Em                              G
Six pins and a shoe, something borrowed, something blue


             C            Em
And when the church doors opened up wide
            C         Em                  G
She put her veil down trying to hide the tears
       
Oh she just couldn't believe it
              C                 
She heard the trumpets from the military band
        D
And the flowers fell out of her hands


(Chorus)
G
Baby, why'd you leave me, why'd you have to go
      Em                                  C
I was counting on forever, now I'll never know
G               D
I can't even breathe
              G 
It's like I'm looking from a distance, standing in the background
Em                                       C
Everybody's saying, he's not coming home now,
              G            D
This can't be happening to me
                   Em   G 
This is just a dream


The preacher man said let us bow our head and pray
Lord please lift his soul and heal this hurt
Then the congregation all stood up
And sang the saddest song that she ever heard


Then they handed her a folded up flag
And she held on to all she had left of him
Oh, and what could've been
And then guns rang one last shot
And it felt like a bullet in her heart


(Chorus x2)

Just A Dream

Intro:      G    
             C    Em    G    D   x2


G 
 Said goodbye, turned around
               Em
 And you were gone, gone, gone
                 C
 Faded into the setting sun

 Slipped away
G
 But I won't cry
                           Em
 'Cuz I know I'll never be lonely

 You are the light I follow

G                                Em
 I can hear those echoes in the wind at night
             C
 Calling me back in time, back to you
G
 In a place far away
                  Em
 Where the water meets the sky
                    C
 The thought of it makes me smile
         Cm       D
 You are my tomorrow

 
G
 I will See you again, whoa
Em
 This is not where it ends

 I will carry you with me, oh
Em
 'Til I see you again

 
  Em          D        C        G   D
 Sometimes I feel my heart is breaking
        Em                D              C
 But I stay strong and I hold on 'cuz I know

G
 I will see you again, whoa
Em
 This is not where it ends
         C             D
 I will carry you with me, yeah yeah

 
G
 I will See you again, whoa

 This is not where it ends

 Said goodbye, turned around

 And you were gone, gone, gone

See You Again

VERSE 1
Bm                    G
What you got if you aint got love
D                     A
The kind that you just wanna give away
Bm            G
It's okay to open up
D                                  A
Go ahead and let the light shine through
Bm                      G
I know it's hard on a rainy day
D
You wanna shut the world out
A               Bm
And just be left alone
G D/F#
Don't run out on your faith


Chorus
G                 Bm                  A
Sometimes that mountain you've been climbing
G           Bm Asus4 A
Is just a grain of sand
G                           Bm           A
What you've been out there searching for forever,
G      Bm   A
Is in your hands
G                    D       A        Bm
When you figure out love is all that matters, after all
G             F#m         D
It sure makes everything else
Bm
Seem so small

VERSE 2 (same as VERSE 1)
It's so easy to get lost inside
A problem that seems so big, at the time
It's like a river that's so wide
It swallows you whole
While you're sittin round thinking about what you can't change
And worryin' about all the wrong things
Time's flying by, moving so fast
You better make it count, cause you can't get it back


Chorus (Same except G on the last line)
Sometimes that mountain you've been climbing
Is just a grain of sand
What you've been out there searchin for forever
Is in your hands
Oh, When you figure out love is all that matters after all
It sure makes everything else
G
Seem so small


Chorus (Same as 1st time-Bm)
Sometimes that mountain you've been climbing
Is just a grain of sand
What you've been out there searchin for forever
Is in your hands
Oh, When you figure out love is all that matters after all
It sure makes everything else
Oh it sure makes eveyrthing else
Bm
Seem so small

I've never been the kind that you'd call lucky 
G                   C9
Always stumbling' around in circles 
D                         A
But I must have stumbled into something 
G 
Look at me 
      C9                G
Am I really alone with you

Can't recall when I last felt that way

Guess it must be all this love you're giving 
G                C9            G          A
Never knew never knew it could be like this

Some hearts

Some hearts have the stars on their side

Some hearts just get lucky sometimes

Now who'd have thought someone like you could love me 
G                         C9
You're the last thing my heart expected 
D                            A
Who'd have thought I'd ever find somebody 
G                   C9            G 
Someone who someone who makes me feel 
       A 
like this 

Well I guess 


D        G
Some hearts 
           A
They just get all the right breaks 
D        G             A
Some hearts have the stars on their side 
D        G
Some hearts,

They just have it so easy

Some hearts just get lucky sometimes

Some hearts just get lucky...

[Verse]
           C
 He said I've been where you've been before
      D
 Down every hallway's a slamming door
  C
 No way out, no one to come and save me
  D
 Wasting a life that the Good Lord gave me
       C
 Then somebody said what I'm saying to you
 D
 Opened my eyes and told me truth
           C
 He said "just a little faith and it'll all get better"
          D
 So I followed that preacher man down to the river and now I'm

 Oh there must've been something in the water


 [Verse]

 Well I heard what he said and I went on my way
          D
 Didn't think about it for a couple of days
          C
 Then it hit me like a lightning late one night
       D
 I was all out of hoping, all out of fight
           C
 Couldn't fight back my tears so I fell on my knees
         D
 Saying God if you're there come and rescue me
  C
 Felt love pouring down from above

 Gotta washed in the water, washed in the blood and now I'm

 Got joy in my heart, angels on my side

 Thank God Almighty, I saw the light

 Gonna looked ahead, no turning back

 Live everyday, give it all that I have

 Trusting someone bigger than me

 Ever since the day that I believed I am

Something In The Water

intro- F#m D  A E (X2)

 
F#m      D             A    E
   I was sitting on my doorstep,
F#m           D                 A         E      F#m
I hung up the phone and it fell out of my hand,
      D              A  E
But I knew I had to do it,
    D   
And he wouldn't understand,
F#m        D              A   E
So hard to see myself without him,
F#m      D           A     E
I felt a piece of my heart break,
F#m             D             A    E
But when you're standing at a crossroad,
         D
There's a choice you gotta make.

[Chorus:]
                           A
I guess it's gonna have to hurt,
                          E
I guess I'm gonna have to cry,
                   F#m
And let go of some things I've loved,
                    D
To get to the other side,
                            A
I guess it's gonna break me down,
                             E
Like falling when you try to fly,
                        F#m                             D
It's sad, but sometimes moving on with the rest of your life,
            A             E
Starts with goodbye.

F#m        D            A   E
  I know there's a blue horizon,
F#m       D              A           E
Somewhere up ahead, just waiting for me,
F#m     D                   A      E
Getting there means leaving things behind,
           D
Sometimes life's so bitter sweet.

[Chorus:]
                           A
I guess it's gonna have to hurt,
                          E
I guess I'm gonna have to cry,
                   F#m
And let go of some things I've loved,
                    D
To get to the other side,
                            A
I guess it's gonna break me down,
                             E
Like falling when you try to fly,
                        F#m                             D
It's sad, but sometimes moving on with the rest of your life,
            F#m   E D  F#m E A D
Starts with goodbye.



Time, time heals,

The wounds that you feel,
C              D
Somehow, right now.

[Chorus:]
                           A
I guess it's gonna have to hurt,
                          E
I guess I'm gonna have to cry,
                   F#m
And let go of some things I've loved,
                    D
To get to the other side,
                            A
I guess it's gonna break me down,
                             E
Like falling when you try to fly,
                        F#m                             D
It's sad, but sometimes moving on with the rest of your life,
            A   E F#m D
Starts with goodbyyyyye.

Verse 1:
          G        Em       Bm C
There's a place out there for us
          G     Em
More than just a prayer or 
   C             D
anything we ever dreamed of
          Em       C      G
So if you feel like giving up
          D            C
Cause you don't fit in down here
                    D
Fear is crashing in close 
your eyes and take my hand

There's A Place For Us

Intro: G 

Verse1
G
Standing at the back door, she tried to make it fast.
Em
One tear hit the hardwood, if fell like broken glass
             C                              D
She said sometimes love slips away, and you just can't get it back.
     G   
Lets face it. For one split second, she almost turned around.
               Em
But that would be like pouring rain drops, back into a cloud.
        C                        D                            G
So she took another step, said I see the way out and I'm gonna take it.


Chorus:
G
I don't wanna spend my life jaded, waiting, 
   Em
to wake up one day and find, 
          C                      D   G
that I've let all these years go by, wasted.


Verse2

G
Another glass of whiskey, but it still don't kill the pain.
      Em
So he stumbles to the sink, and pours it down the drain.
             C                          D
He said it's time to be a man, and stop living for yesterday.
       G
Gotta face it.

Chorus

Bridge:

         C                            D              G
She kept driving along, till the moon and the sun, were floating side by 

side.
      C                          D                G
He looked in the mirror, and his eyes were clear, for the first time, in a 
 C
while.

Chorus 2x

Wasted

&quot;Before He Cheats&quot; is a song written by Chris Tompkins and Josh Kear and the third wide-release single from Carrie Underwood's debut album, Some Hearts. It was the fifth release from the album overall. It was named the 2007 Single of the Year by the Country Music Association. It is Underwood's most successful single to date, with sales of over 3.1 million digital downloads. It is the second most sold single from an American Idol contestant, (&quot;No Air&quot; by season 6 winner Jordin Sparks being the first) and the fourth longest-charting single in the history of the Hot 100.

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                 E               B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


Chorus:
                      E              B
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                    E                B
Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                     E                      G#m   F#
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café

I dissected each sentence but kept coming up empty
D                         A
the way you are leaves me counting the days
        Bm                            A

American Dream 

[intro x2]
A  E  D A

A                                        E
when there's no place you feel at home
              D                               A
and you think you'd be better off alone
A                                          E
when you think there's no reason to try
               D                           A
and you hate yourself and wanna die

A                                      E
when you're filled with anxiety
             D                   A
and everyone's your enemy
A                                        E
when you wish you were someone else
                 D                        A
and you wanna go out and kill yourself

[chorus]

E D                 A

when you get yourself depressed
                      D                   A
because you think you can't do your best
A                                         E
when you write yourself a stupid song
           D                        A
to remind yourself that you forgot

[chorus]

Overreacting

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.

Gonna Be A Long Time

It takes a while to get used to the rhythm. In the verse the
time signature goes 3/4 for 2 bars then 2/4 for 1 bar and then
repeats.
