G                                                C
I parked my car round back got the shades pulled down
            D7                                    G
I told everybody includin' my momma I was leaving town
D7                  G                      C
But I've been right here since you've been gone
      D7                                               G
Belly up at the bottom of a bottle listening to George Jones


[Chorus]
                               C
And just playin' possum layin' low
         D7
I've got hundred watts of hurtin'
                   C                  D7
Coming through the speakers of my stereo
                    G                      C
Don't want to see nobody nowhere I want to go
A7           G      D7         G
Just playin' possum and laying low


[Verse 2]
D7                G                   C
I'm gonna hide my heart and be a love recluse
           D7                                                  G
Oh I could cry on my best friend's shoulder but there ain't no use
D7               G                     C
I need an expert on the pain I'm going through
             D7                                        G
So I'll keep George on the old turntable till I'm over you


[Chorus]
                               C
And just playin' possum layin' low
         D7
I've got hundred watts of hurtin'
                   C                  D7
Coming through the speakers of my stereo
                    G                      C
Don't want to see nobody nowhere I want to go
A7           G      D7         G
Just playin' possum and laying low


[Otro]
         C                    G      D7                G
Tell 'em Jones he's a playin' possum and he's a layin' low
