Vern Gosdin - The Number He Gave Me Was Mine

      G
I was pouring my heart out to a stranger at the bar

   D7                               C            G
We talked about what happens when a man goes too far

                                            Em
Then he mentioned this woman he knew across town

      A7                          D7
Ah he said she was something to behold in her gown

    C                     G             Em
She knows how to hold you like no woman can

C               G          D7           G
She’s pure satisfaction to a sad lonely man


C                                   G
When the guilt in my conscience had packed up and gone

                                        D7
He gave me her number and I went to the phone

   C                            G          Em
My whole world just came to the end of the line

          C         G        D7  G
Cause the number he gave me  was mine


C                         G
I wanted to hurt him with all that I had

       A7                          D7
Oh but I knew it was my fault that she turned out bad

C                     G            Em
God knows I wanted to lay down and die

          C         G        D7  G
Cause the number he gave me  was mine


       C         G        D7  G
Ah the number he gave me  was mine
