Flannel Graph - Apple Pie

      [Verse]
Am         F            C           G
I told my dad I didn't love him anymore
Am                 F          C                G
I grabbed all the cash and I ran and slammed the door
              Am    F             C            G
And I spent it like, I spent it like a movie star
          Am     F            C                 G
I spent it right, I spent it right in all the bars
           Am         F            C             G
I was so hungry, so thirsty, the ladies, they adored me
        Am                F             C                  G
And the men all wished to be me, they burned in all their jealousy

[Instrumental]
Am F C G

[Chorus]
Am              F            C                  G
I had all the things that a man like me should buy
Am               F       C               G
I lived like a king in America with apple pie
                 Am   F                C             G
But my heart was small, my heart was smaller than before
            Am   F                   C                       G
My fence was tall, to keep out the people that were wanting more

[Instrumental]
Am F C G

[Verse]
Am        F      C             G
I knew a girl, Katie was her name
Am                  F                 C                  G
She was quite the whirlwind and she wanted to stake my claim
            Am        F          C                G
She said oh baby, oh maybe, you and me could get married
           Am              F             C              G
And we’ll settle down and bury all the warrants in our histories
    Am              F                 C          G
But all the party lights went out and I was all alone
    Am               F                   C                   G
The amount of money that I had was the amount of love I was shown
            Am           F  C  G
And I had nothing x2

[Chorus]
         Am        F          C         G
So, I gathered up all of my pride
   Am               F              C          G
I hitch hiked to a town where my dignity had died
Am  F   C    G
He was waiting x2
Am F         C    G
He ran and kissed me
