Capo on fourth fret
this is the riff after many lines during the verses,
I'm referring to it as X:
e ---------------------- B ---------------------- G ---------------------- D --0-0--2-2/4-2-0---0h2 A -----------------3---- E ----------------------

also, when switching chords often hit the bottom string at 0
and then hold to correct fret, such as:
Cadd9 G
e --3-----3----- B --3-----3----- G --0-----0----- D --2-----0----- A --0h3---2----- E --x-----0h3---

intro:
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
e ------------------ B ------------------ G --0--------------- D ----4-2--0-------- A -----------0h2---- E ------------------

verse 1:
Cadd9 G
I never had all the answers
Em D (X)
I never had enough time
Cadd9 G
But, I sure had all the reasons
Em D (X)
Why you weren't what I wanted to find
verse 2:
Cadd9 G
I never laid all my cards out
Em D (X)
You just wanted to play
Cadd9 G
The king he waited on my doorstep
Em D (X)
While the joker and me went on our way
chorus:
Cadd9 D
Maybe I was much too selfish
G G/F# C C G/B
But baby you're still on my mind
Cadd9 D
Now I'm grown and all alone
G G/F# Em
And wishing I was with you tonight
C C G/B Am7
Cause I can guarantee
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
Things are sweeter in Tennessee
after chorus:
e ------------------------ B ------------------------ G --0--------------------- D ----4-2--0-------------- A -----------0h2--2/3\2-0- E ------------------------

verse 3:
Cadd9 G
These days everything is all business
Em D
I'm never in one place for too long
Cadd9 G
There's no lack of arms around me
Em D (X)
But I still wonder if somewhere I went wrong
chorus:
Cadd9 D
Maybe I was much too selfish
G G/F# C C G/B
But baby you're still on my mind
Cadd9 D
Now I'm grown and all alone
G G/F# Em
And wishing I was with you tonight
C C G/B Am7
Cause I can guarantee
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
Things are sweeter in Tennessee
bridge:
Am Em
And I'd wish on every star in the southern sky
C
For that man in our life
D
If I did not think that, oh
chorus:
Cadd9 D
Maybe I was much too selfish
G G/F# C C G/B
But baby you're still on my mind
Cadd9 D
Now I'm grown and all alone
G G/F# Em
And wishing I was with you tonight
C C G/B Am7
Cause I can guarantee
Cadd9 G
Things are sweeter in Tennessee
Cadd9 G/B
Yes, I can guarantee
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
Things are sweeter in Tennessee
the ending is just Cadd9 and G, sometimes sliding the high strings
like a D chord formation from 5th to 7th fret (e string)
/ : slide up
\ : slide down
h : hold
