Check Your Pocket

A                 D
I saw her back in grade school,
            G                  D
She was the prettiest girl I'd ever 
seen,
    A                           
And talkin' made me sound like a 
 D
damn fool,
      G                     
And I hadn't quite kick that 
 D
st-st-stutter
A                D
I gave up on the whole thing,
G                    D
Thinkin' of the way, prayin' for the
 day,
A                             D
Hopin' that the stars would a-lign,
    G              D
And someday she be mine.

      A                 D
Well, high school finally rolled 
around,
G         D
So did my chance,
     A                      D
Just kept my business under one half
 minute,
       G                      D
When I asked her to go to the dance.
A                         D
She said yes and when the night was 
over,
G               D
I had her in my hand,
     A               D
That picture we took with my arms 
wrapped around her,
       G              D
By the gym concession stand.

[Chorus]
Am
Oh, before that night was over,
D
I wrote a couple words,
C                                
First chance I got, I snuck that 
D              C  D
picture in her pu-rse,
            A        D
And it said hold me, fold me,
C                           
Slip me in the pocket of your 
  G
favorite old blue jeans,
Continues after the ad
A              D
Ball me up and spin me clean,
C                       G
Leave me outside in the sunshine 
honey,
A        D       G
Roll me, lose me underneath a pile 
of your new things,
A               D
Forget you ever knew me then,
G                               G
Check your pockets some day and find
 me again.
A
Wo-oh... wo-oh.

N.C.
Well...,
A               D
She went off to college,
        G            D
And I'm off to do my thing,
       A                    D
I was hangin' out late one night 
drinkin' pitchers,
          G                     
With some friends at the Kitchen 
 D
Sink, eh...,
A                 D
I'd had to rub my eyes,
    G                     D
and look again to just be sure,
     A                  D
That girl I'd knew then came back 
woman and
      G             D
she'd walk into dat door.

[Chorus]
Am                          D
Before we left she pulled a napkin 
from her shirt,
C
It had her number on it,
D              C  D
Underneath the wo-rds...
            A        D
And it said hold me, fold me,
C                           
Slip me in the pocket of your 
  G
favorite old blue jeans,
A              D
Ball me up and spin me clean,
C                       G
Leave me outside in the sunshine 
honey,
A        D       G
Roll me, lose me underneath a pile 
of your new things,
A               D
Forget you ever knew me then,
C                               G
Check your pockets some day and find
 me again.

[Chorus]
            A        D
And it said hold me, fold me,
C                           
Slip me in the pocket of your 
  G

Ball me up and spin me clean,

honey,
A        D       G
Roll me, lose me underneath a pile 
of your new things,
A               D
Forget you ever knew me then,
C                         G
Check your pockets... and find me 
again.

[Chorus]

Roll me, lose me underneath a pile 
of your new things,

Forget you ever knew me then,

Check your pockets some day
