What Was I Thinking? chords
Start Jamming...
[G] [A] Hey, what was [D] I thinking?
I wasn't [Em] even drinking
So I can't [G] blame the bottle
[A] For crying [D] over you
[A] I [D] should have started running
I didn't see you [Em] even coming
Now my heart is [G] only breaking
My ship is [A] fully sank
What was [D] I thinking?
I thought we [Em] had it all
[A] I thought we had [D] it right
I thought we'd [E] have a [F#m]
ball
[E] [G] For forever [A] and a night
But I [D] guess I [G] got it wrong
[A] I was way [D] off on the time
Forever ended [E] with so long
You left me here [A] out of [Em] my [A] mind
Wondering what was [D] I thinking?
I wasn't [Em] even drinking
So I can't [G] blame tequila
[A] For making [D] me a fool
I should have started running
Maybe I saw you [Em] even coming
Now my heart is [G] only breaking
My ship is [A] fully sank
What was [D] I thinking?
[Em]
[G]
[A] Tell me what was [D] I thinking?
I wasn't [Em] even drinking
So I sure can't [G] blame Jack
[A] Daniels
For dying [D] over you
[A] Oh, I [D] should have started running
Okay, I saw you [Em] even coming
Now my heart is [G] only breaking
My ship is [A] fully sank
What was [D] I thinking?
[E] Now my [F#] heart is [G] only breaking
My love [A] boat is sinking
What was [D] I thinking?
[N]
