Chords for Goodbye - Steve Earle Live at the Orpheum in Vancouver

_ _ It almost never occurred before. _
It was actually a [Ab] housekeeping procedure that [G] had to do with my [Bb] catalog of songs that I've written [Bb] over the years.
And it's like me _ [F] and my manager [Ab] and a couple of lawyers _ [Db] and an accountant [C] or two.
[B] And, you know, it was [Bb] a lot of time on the phone, sometimes in the second room.
And they were [Db] always trying to be an adult.
_ [G] Because, you know, I'm trying to [C] be_
I am more responsible than I was, [Bb] at least in the 80s.
_ _ _ And I'm trying to, you know, I [B] try to pay attention to all those things.
And because [Bb] I didn't pay attention to a lot of, you know, legal [Ab] proceedings in the 80s,
some of them still [B] haunt me from time to time.
I _ was born in [Db] the 80s.
_ [C] _
_ _ [Db] _ _ [Bb] This was like [Db] a_
There was one point where they were ranting off a bunch of numbers and I was nodding [N] and pretending that I understood.
And [Bb] actually my mind was doing what it does and going in this whole other [N] place.
And I just remember thinking, I've written a fuck of a lot of songs. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ That's [Bb] what happens, I guess, if you [C] don't nod.
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
[B] I was pleasantly [F] surprised, actually, just to find out there were no songs that I didn't recall writing at [C] all.
_ I can't really put them all in chronological order, [Abm] necessarily, all the time.
I can [G] always tell you [Db] how old Little Rock and Roller is, because I [Bm] know how old Justin is.
_ _ [Gb] _ _
_ [Bb] And this song, [F] I can tell you without fear [Bb] of contradiction, is 15 years old.
[D] And the reason I know that is because [Bb] this is the first song that I ever wrote.

_ _ _ _ _ [Am] It's like a soft [C] breeze
Blowing down the look of red hair

[C] _
I break down and [G] cry _
_ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
[F] _ Can't remember
[G] If it was [C] a good man _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Out of the [F] car, _ _ _ _ _ _ let's go

That's _ _ _ _ _ _ one place I may [G] never go
And _ my life [C] again _ _ _

all
_ All so weird _
Maybe just divine
[G] _ Can't [Bm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
