Rather Have Nothin

G  C  G  D  G

[Verse 1]
G
I jumped in the car and I headed for
 Kansas

The mornin' found me in Port Aransas
C                          G
Sippin' on rum, lyin' in the sun
     G
I've never been good at keepin' 
direction

Schedules are one of life's 
infections
  C
I strongly believe
             D                  
That I would rather have nothin' 
        C                          
than a whole lotta somethin' I 
   G
don't need

[Verse 2]
G
Spent the evenin' in a tavern 
downtown

With my new friends that I'd 
gathered 'round
      C                          
And I told them 'bout you and all 
            G
we've been through

              G
'Bout how you tried to keep me tied 
down

And the lights went out on our final
 round
   C
We all did agree
              D                  
That we would rather have nothin' 
        C                      
than a whole lotta somethin' we 
        G
don't need

[Chorus]
C                      G     
  You can go ahead and keep the 
                D
money in the bank
C                                 
  You can lead a horse to water 
      G                       D
but you damn sure can't make it 
drink
C                                  
  And I'm doin' fine down here and 
G          G/F#        Em
maybe this time you'll see
    G                          D  
I'd rather have nothin' than a 
                           G
whole lotta somethin' I don't need

[Verse 3]
G
She was smiling shyly from a 
barstool in the corner

Thanking me for those drinks that I 
ordered
       C                      
By the look in her eye she was 
             G
feeling her wine
            G
I asked her what she was doin' here 
alone

And if she'd mind if I took her home
          C
Hell, she just laughed at me
               D                   
She said, "I'd rather have nothin' 
       C                           
than a whole lotta somethin' I 
  G
don't need"

[Chorus]
C                      G     
  You can go ahead and keep the 
                D
money in the bank
C                                 
  And you can lead a horse to 
          G                       
water but you damn sure can't make 
D
it drink
C                                  
  And I'm doin' fine down here and 
G          G/F#        Em
maybe this time you'll see
    G                          D  
I'd rather have nothin' than a 
                           G
whole lotta somethin' I don't need
         G                         
Yes, I'd rather have nothin' than a
 D                             G
 whole lotta somethin' I don't need
