[Intro]
Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 G
[Verse 1]
Cmaj7
Sometimes I just might
G
Drink tequila straight on a Tuesday night
Cmaj7
And sometimes when the moon is high
G
The way that it shines hits a memory just right
Cmaj7
Oh sometimes
G
Sometimes
[Chorus]
Am7 Cmaj7
Most nights I don’t think of the hazel in your eyes
G
Or the blankets in the bed of your truck
Am7 Cmaj7
I don’t always remember Elvis “Love Me Tender”
G D
Kissing ‘til the sun came up
Am7 C
Oh but sometimes
G
Sometimes
[Verse 2]
Cmaj7
Seems like most of the while I’m
G
Walking on sunshine, feeling alright
Cmaj7
But some days when it rains
G
I start to hear a whisper of things you would say
[Chorus]
Am7 Cmaj7
Most nights I don’t go to the smell of your cologne
G
To dreaming with my head on your chest
Am7 Cmaj7
And hiding under covers, laughing like lovers
G D
Wondering where the afternoon went
Am7 C
Oh but sometimes
G
Oh but sometimes
[Interlude]
Am7 C G
[Bridge]
Am7 C
Sometimes I don’t think about you
G
But sometimes that’s all I ever do
Am7 C
Sometimes I don’t think about you
G
But sometimes I do, I do
Am7 C G
I do, I do
[Out-Chorus]
Am7 C
Most nights I don’t go there, standing in the place where
G
I watched you pull out the drive
Am7 C Em D
And I don’t care to think of where you and I might be if we never said goodbye
Am7 C G
Oh but sometimes
Am7 C
Oh sometimes
