The Book You Never Read Chords

(ver. 1)
Tracy Lawrence
The Book You Never Read
Recorded by Tracy Lawrence

Intro.:  ---- | (D)  | (A)  | (D)  | (D) ---

When you were lost and needed (D)help, I hoped that you would turn (A) to me
And when you couldn't help your-(Em)self, I watched you drown that (Bm)misery (A)
I've seen the damage that (D)you've done, every teardrop and (A)misstep
You know I could've saved you (Em)some, (G) I'm the book you (D)never read

(Chorus)
(Bm) Your grandaddy (G)carried me in the (D)World War II
Your (A)grandma swears that (Bm)I'm the truth
Your (G)parent's hands were (D)on me when they (A)wed
I'm like a (Bm)member of the (G)family, three (D)generations have (A)handed me down
(Em) I'm in the drawer by (F#m)your bed, (G) I'm the book you (D)never read

I can't take that first step (D)for you, but when you take that step (A)you'll find
You are the key and I'm the (Em)door to, (G) forgiveness and some peace (D) of mind...you know

(Chorus)
(Bm) Your grandaddy (G)carried me in the (D)World War II
Your (A)grandma swears that (Bm)I'm the truth
Your (G)parent's hands were (D)on me when they (A)wed
I'm like a (Bm)member of the (G)family, three (D)generations have (A)handed me down
(Em) And despite all (F#m)they've said, (G) still the book you never (D) read --

Inst.:  -- | (G)  | (Bm) (F#m) | (G)  | (D) | (D) --

So when the world treats you un-(D)kindly, and your heart's heavy with (A)regret
That's when I wish that you would (Em)find me, (F#m) (G) I'm the book you never read

(Chorus)
(Bm) Your grandaddy (G)carried me in the (D)World War II
Your (A)grandma swears that (Bm)I'm the truth
Your (G)parent's hands were (D)on me when they (A)wed
I'm like a (Bm)member of the (G)family, three (D)generations have (A)handed me down
(Em) I'm in the drawer by (F#m)your bed, (G) still the book you never (D)read

Outro.:  -- | (G) You never | (Bm)read (F#m) | (G)  |
            | (D) (A) | (G)  | (Bm) (F#m) | (G)  | (D) --- to fade
