Best I Ever Had (Gray Sky Morning) - Gary Allen
Submitted by HWfan86
 
 
[Intro]
G Am7 Cadd9 G D/F# x2
 
[Verse 1]
G              Am7
So you sailed away
Cadd9         G   D/F#
To a gray sky morning
G               Am7
Now I'm here to stay
Cadd9          G  D/F#
Love can be so boring
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Am                        Em
  And nothing's quite the same now
Am                Em   Dsus2
  I just say your name now
 
[Chorus]
G                 Am7
  But it's not so bad
Cadd9             G      D/F#
  You're only the best I ever had
Em                  Am7
  You don't want me back
Cadd9             G      D/F#
  You're just the best I ever had
 
[Interlude]
G Am7 Cadd9
 
[Verse 2]
G               Am7
So you stole my world
Cadd9          G  D/F#
Now I'm just a phony
  G             Am7
Remembering the girl
Cadd9              G   D/F#
Leaves me down and lonely
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Am                  Em
  Well send it in a letter
Am                 Em   Dsus2
  Make yourself feel better
 
[Chorus]
G                 Am7
  But it's not so bad
Cadd9             G      D/F#
  You're only the best I ever had
Em                  Am7
  You don't want me back
Cadd9             G      D/F#
  You're just the best I ever had
 
[Bridge]
F              G
  And it might take some time to
Cadd9      G/B  Am
  Patch me up inside
F             G
  But I can't take it so I
Em               F
  I run away and hide
F             G
  And I might find in time that
Cadd9      G/B    Am  G F
  You were always right
       G    F      G
You're always right
 
[Verse 1]
               Am7
So you sailed away
Cadd9         G   D/F#
To a gray sky morning
G               Am7
Now I'm here to stay
Cadd9          G  D/F#
Love can be so boring
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Am                Em
  Was it what you wanted?
Am              Em    Dsus2
  Could it be I'm haunted?
 
[Chorus]
G                 Am7
  But it's not so bad
Cadd9             G      D/F#
  You're only the best I ever had
Em                  Am7
  You don't want me back
Cadd9             G      D/F#
  You're just the best I ever had
 
[Outro]
G Am7 Cadd9                G      D/F#  G
           You're just the best I ever had

that D/F sounds just fine as a D if you happen to find that chord hard to play. I did. Just dampen the low E w/ your thumb and the average chick you're singing this to wont ever hear the difference.
