F#  A  E

[Verse 1]
            E
I've had to buy back damn near everything I own,
       A                                                       E
From a little man who's name is Saul and has a lot of money to loan.
          E                          E7
I drive a beat up '67 Chevrolet, hey hey,
       A                                                              E
With a torn up seat that pokes a brand new hole in my back near every day.
        E                                   E7
I got a letter from the folks over at Bell,
        A                                                    E
Just to let me know my next phonecall I can walk outside and yell.
     F#7                                                                   B7
Hey, I know my life seems a mess, but honey, things to me still look real swell.

[Chorus]
                E                      E7
'Cause I've got you, to see me through,
               A  A7                 E7
Yeah, I've got you,  oh to chase my blues.
         E                   E7
I've got you to ease my pain,
               A  A7                E7
Yeah, I've got you, girl to keep me sane.
   F#7
So let 'em do what they wanna do,
       A                                E
'Cause it don't matter long as I've got you.

[Verse 2]
             E
I've got the landlord breathin' down my neck for rent,
        A                                                         E
Oh, but he don't give a damn about my kids or where the money was spent.
          E
And after all those years of payin' union dues,
   A                                                         E
It sure didn't seem to count for much when we got our layoff news.
        E
I got a note from the man over at the bank,
         A                                                 E
said the next 10 gallons of gas I buy won't be goin' in my tank.
     F#7                                A                               B7
Hey, I know I might seem near dead, but honey, I think I might just get well

[Chorus]
                E                      E7
'Cause I've got you, to see me through,
               A  A7                 E7
Yeah, I've got you,  oh to chase my blues.
         E                   E7
I've got you to ease my pain,
               A  A7                E7
Yeah, I've got you, girl to keep me sane.

So let 'em do what they wanna do,
       A                                E
'Cause it don't matter long as I've got you.

[Outro]
      F#7
Yeah, let 'em go right ahead and sue,
       A                                E
'Cause it don't matter long as I've got you.
