James Acordes

[Intro]
Dm7
 
[Verse 1]
      Bbmaj7       Am7         Dm7
He decided he'd be better off alone
       Bbmaj7           Am7              Dm7
So he left his wife and child and went solo
      Bbmaj7        Am7           Dm7
It is summertime, Atlanta's hot as hell
          Bbmaj7           Am7                 Gm7
He thinks back to what he had, and where he's now
 
[Chorus]
       Dm7   Dm7/C  Bbmaj7  Am7                Bbmaj7
(Whoo) James can't  stop    hangin' out in the bars
Dm7  Dm7/C  Bbmaj7  Am7                      Bbmaj7
He's on     top,    breakin' all the ladies' hearts
Dm7   Dm7/C  Bbmaj7   Am7             Bbmaj7
James ain't  got   a problem with alcohol
Dm7  Dm7/C  Bbmaj7  Am7                 Gm7     Dm7
He   can't  stop    hangin' out in the bars
 
[Verse 2]
         Bbmaj7             Am7           Dm7
Found a pay phone, and the courage, it did swell
        Bbmaj7           Am7             Dm7
What to say James never really knew that well
         Bbmaj7     Am7                 Dm7
And his apology was more than they could stand
             Bbmaj7         Am7              Gm7
"I'm just a poor excuse for what some call a man"
 
[Chorus]
Dm7   Dm7/C  Bbmaj7  Am7                Bbmaj7
James can't  stop    hangin' out in the bars
Dm7  Dm7/C  Bbmaj7  Am7                      Bbmaj7
He's on     top,    breakin' all the ladies' hearts
Dm7   Dm7/C  Bbmaj7   Am7             Bbmaj7
James ain't  got   a problem with alcohol
Dm7  Dm7/C  Bbmaj7  Am7                 Gm7
He   can't  stop    hangin' out in the bars
 
[Instrumental]
Gm7    C
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Gm7    C
Oh-oh, ooh
 
Dm7   Dm7/C   Bbmaj7   Am7     Bbmaj7
 
Dm7   Dm7/C   Bbmaj7   Am7     Bbmaj7    Dm7
 
[Verse 3]
       Bbmaj7          Am7        Dm7
"So I want you to be spirited and brave
         Bbmaj7           Am7             Dm7
Find someone to love, but never take my place"
            Bbmaj7          Am7            Dm7
He hung the phone up and defeated his own life
      Bbmaj7         Am7           Gm7
Disappeared into the closest neon sign
 
[Chorus]
       Dm7   Dm7/C  Bbmaj7  Am7                Bbmaj7
(Whoo) James can't  stop    hangin' out in the bars
Dm7  Dm7/C  Bbmaj7  Am7                      Bbmaj7
He's on     top,    breakin' all the ladies' hearts
Dm7   Dm7/C  Bbmaj7   Am7             Bbmaj7
James ain't  got   a problem with alcohol
Dm7  Dm7/C  Bbmaj7  Am7                Bbmaj7
He   can't  stop    hangin' out in the bars
Dm7   Dm7/C   Bbmaj7   Am7     Bbmaj7
 
Dm7   Dm7/C  Bbmaj7   Am7     Gm7
James can't  stop
