Shotgun Wedding
By: Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit
Intro:
D Em G D Em G D
Verse I:
G D
Ten years out of high school
G D
Still no idea what to do
G D
You took him home from a night club
G D
He took a night club to you
Verse II:
G D
Now I watch from the window
G D
Too guilty to scream
G D
My feet are like steel, I
G D
Might be in a dream
Bridge:
A G D
But every time I see you, you look bigger than you did the day before
A G D
Even though I know it's not my fault I wish it was
A G D
I can only ride the elevator all night long from floor to floor
A G D
And I can only stand outside your window in the dust
Chorus:
D Em
So how about a shotgun wedding
G D
What about your dignity
Em
What about a different setting
G D
What about me
Em
All your daddy's wishes, honor
G D
All of that security
Em
How about a shotgun wedding
G D
What about me
Verse III:
G D
I guess I'm a loner
G D
Some call me a freak
G D
Saw you in the hallway
G D
Too guilty to speak
Verse IV:
G D
Now I sleep in the daytime
G D
And I sleep on the floor
G D
I dial your number
G D
And I knock on your door
Bridge:
A G D
But every time I hear your voice or footsteps, I get frozen in my place
A G D
And I have to struggle for the courage just to run
A G D
I can see the eyes of all the ones that left you glowing in your face
A G D
And I just wanna help you with this life that you've begun
Chorus:
D Em
So how about a shotgun wedding
G D
What about your dignity
Em
What about a different setting
G D
What about me
Em
All your daddy's wishes, honor
G D
All of that security
Em
What about a shotgun wedding
G D
What about me
D Em
What about a shotgun wedding
G D
What about me
