Paul Eason - Close Don't Count For Nothing Chords

Close Don't Count for Nothin' 
Paul Eason 

Intro: Em D A G D 

Verse: 
A 	  	  	  	  	  	 G         D 
He's been workin' for two years down the street at HEB 
A 	  	  	  	  	 G               D 
Just so he can pay his rent and take classes at ACC 
        G 	  	  	  	  	    D 
Now he ain't old but he's done more livin' than his twenty years might suggest 
A 	  	  	  	  	  	 G                      D 
He's done some drinkin' in his lifetime but he ain't even legal yet 

Chorus: 
 	     Em 	  	   D 
And it's a long way to Mexico 
                  Em 	  	         G 
And there ain't nothing to do around here 
              Bm 	  	  	 D 
I guess close don't count for nothin' 
        A                                          G        D 
But no one around here seems to care 

Verse: 
He's friends with the sheriff's daughter, you know ol' sheriff thinks he's alright 
He'll even buy him beer and give him advice on his love life 
But on a Monday night with nothing to do man a six pack sure sounds nice 
But there ain't no way it's gonna happen today 'cause the timing just ain't right 

Chorus 

Verse: 
He's just got a week left 'till he makes twenty one 
Said he gave up drinkin' 'till then said the risk outweighs the fun 
Well this I had to see with my own eyes to doubt no more 
Don't you know the very next day I saw him passed out on the floor 

Chorus
