Unwrite That Song

Intro: D D*  D** A    G A D______

D                             D*               D
Well I heard it on the late-night radio
               G                           A                 D
For the umpteenth time headin' from A  to the Florida coast
D                             D*                       D
I was in between black coffee and shifting gears
              G                       A                           D
When the second verse took a turn and brought me to tears
              G                        A
They were talkin' about love, I do and forever
      D                              D*
And how two people ought to stay together
            G                                                   A
Well the music hit me but the singer's got it all wrong

                  D       D*               D**  A
Unwrite that song   unwrite that song
                       G                                          D   A
'Cause what he's saying to me don't go with that melody
                  D      D*                   D**    A
Unsing them lines about those happy times
                            G     A                 D
don't they know she's gone unwrite that song


D                                     D*                             D
Well it was 3 AM and she was cryin' and her eyes were all red
                       G           A                         D
When that music video came on and she sat up in her bed
D                                D*                          D
She grabbed that whiskey bottle poured one last shot
                      G            A                     D     A
And threw that empty glass at the TV and screamed


                  D       D*               D**  A
Unwrite that song   unwrite that song
                       G                                          D   A
'Cause what he's saying to me don't go with that melody

                  D      D*                   D**   A
Unsing them lines about those happy times
                            G     A                 D
don't they know he's gone unwrite that song

G                                 A               D       D*    
Well there was a time that I believed all those words were true
D**         A

         G                                                         A
And if I had a pen and paper right now I know what I'd do...


                  D       D*               D**  A
Unwrite that song   unwrite that song

                  D      D*                   D**   A
Unsing them lines about those happy times
