    Bowling for Soup

standard tuning, capo on 2nd.

(Verse I)
                        A5
She said she needed a break.
                   D5
A little time to think.
                      B5
Then she moved to Cleveland
                       E5
with some guy named Leeland
                     A5
that she met at the bank.

(repeat progression)

There's nothing wrong with Ohio
Cept the snow and the rain.
I really like Drew Carey
and I'd love to see that Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame.

(Pre-Chorus)
              D5              A5
So when your done, doing whatever,
                 D5             A5
and when your through, doing whoever,
                  F#5           E5                      D5
you know Denton county will be right here waiting for you.

(Chorus)
               D5
Come back to Texas
                   A5                   E5
It's just not the same since you went away
                       D5
Before you lose your accent
                 A5                  E5
And forget all about the Lone-star State
           F#5                  E5
There's a seat for you at the rodeo
               E5
And I've got every slow dance saved
               B5                E5              D5
Besides the Mexican food sucks north of here anyway

(Verse II [same as verse I])
I think I made a mistake
It's not that easy to take
She went to make a deposit
Then she cleaned out her closet
Guess I'll sit here and wait

For her to come back home (I'd wish you come back home)
It shouldn't take very long (so long, so long)
I bet she misses the sunrise
And misses the fruit flies, but I could be wrong

(Pre-Chorus)
(Chorus)
Come back to Texas
It's just not the same since you went away
I bet you missed your exit
And drove on through the Lone-star State
There's a seat for you at the rodeo
And I've got every slow dance saved
Besides the Mexican food sucks north of here anyway

(Bridge)
        D5              A5
Troy Aikmen wants you back
         D5               A5
Willie Nelson wants you back
 D5              A5
NASA wants you back
          D5                  A5
And the Bush twins want you back
   D5               A5
Pantera wants you back
      D5                  A5
And Blue Bell wants you back
  F#5
I got a premonition
     E5
I'm taking a petition
         D5                    E5
And the whole state's gonna sign!

(chorus)
Come back to Texas
It's just not the same since you went away
Before you lose your accent
And forget all about the Lone-star State
There's a seat for you at the rodeo
And I've got every slow dance saved

(Last Chorus)
Come back to Texas
It's just not the same since you went away
Before you lose your accent
And forget all about the Lone-star State
There's a seat for you at the rodeo
And I've got every slow dance saved
Besides the Mexican food sucks north of here anyway
              F#5                E5              D5
Besides the Mexican food sucks north of here anyway
              F#5                E5              D5
Besides the Mexican food sucks north of here anyway.
 A5
Yeah.
