Start Jamming...
[G] [A]
[B] [C] You always leave me holding [D] the bag.
[G] Don't you know it's getting pretty heavy [C] to drag?
You think it's funny, [D] but it ain't no gag.
[G] How come you always leave me holding [C] the [G] bag?
[C] Remember out in Austin, [F] that time that we got tight?
[G] You told that old boy that I wanted [C] to fight.
Now Moe, you know I really [F] thought that you could win.
[D] I didn't see no sense in [G] me a stepping in.
[F] You almost got me killed [C] when you started to brag.
[G] That's when you ran off and [D] left me [C] holding the bag.
[G] [D#] [B] [C] You always leave me holding [D] the bag.
[G] Don't you know it's getting pretty heavy to [C] drag?
You think it's funny, [D] but it ain't no gag.
[G] How come you always leave me holding [C] the bag?
Remember back in Nashville [F] when we picked up them two?
That [G] old ugly one for me and the pretty one [C] for you.
Well Joe, I bought the gas [F] and it was my car.
[D] And I got a stuff for all [G] the beer at the bar.
[Dm]
Yeah, you were up front playing [C] lover's tag [G] while I was in the backseat just [C] holding the [G] bag.
[F#m] [B] You [C] always leave me [D] holding the bag.

You think it's funny, but [D] it ain't no gag.
[G] How come you always leave me holding the [C] bag?
[G#]
[C#] Remember when I needed [F#] your alibi?
[G#] My wife called you up and you didn't [C#] lie.
Now that's not as bad as when you had [F#] me to drive.
[D#] I ended up with that [G#] need of your eye.
[F#] Now after all we've done, it's [C#] a wonder we're friends.
But [G#] old pal, you know [C#] we'll do it [G#] again.
[Gm] [G#] You [C#] always leave me [D#] holding the bag.
[G#] Don't you know it's getting pretty heavy to [C#] drag?
You think it's funny, but [D#] it ain't no gag.

[D] [E] [A]
