[Verse 1]
          Cadd9
If I was a race car driver
             G
Well, I'd be right behind her
       D
I'd be doing ninety in a fifty-five
          G
Trying to change her mind
 
[Verse 2]
                Cadd9
And if I was an airplane pilot
              G
I wouldn't be thirty-five thousand
       D
I'd be drawing I'm sorry in the blue sky
          G
Over isle sixty-five
 
[Chorus]
              Cadd9
But if I was a bettin' man
                         G
I'd say she's halfway to Birmingham
                      D
On the phone with her mama n'em
                       G
Cussing me to hell and back again
                 Cadd9
I bet she's got a radio on
                        G
Singing something 'bout movin' on
                         D
I'd put a hundred on her never coming back again
           G               Cadd9  G
If I was a bettin' man
 
[Verse 3]
          Cadd9
If I was a radio DJ
                 G
Well, I know the songs that I'd play
                D
They'd be about coming home and making up
            G
And falling back in love
 
[Bridge]
              Cadd9
But if I was a bettin' man
                         G
I'd say she's halfway to Birmingham
                      D
On the phone with her mama n'em
                       G
Cussing me to hell and back again
                 Cadd9
I bet she's got a radio on
                        G
Singing something 'bout movin' on
                         D
I'd put a hundred on her never coming back again
           G
If I was a bettin' man
          Cadd9
If I was a bettin' man
                G           G/F#    Em7
I wouldn't have folded them winning hands
              Cadd9
I wouldn't be sitting here drinkin' beer
D
Waiting on a second chance
 
[Chorus]
              Cadd9
But if I was a bettin' man
                         G
I'd say she's halfway to Birmingham
                      D
On the phone with her mama n'em
                       G
Cussing me to hell and back again
                 Cadd9
I bet she's got a radio on
                        G
Singing something 'bout movin' on
                         D
I'd put a hundred on her never coming back again
           G              Cadd9  G
If I was a bettin' man
