[Intro]
D  C G D   C G


[Verse 1]
D                           C        G
God rest in peace, that old pair of elevens
D                      G
I sent those Red Wings flying up to heaven
  D
I trusted them, and they let me down
                               G
They should've turned this old boy around
D                           C        G
God rest in peace, that old pair of elevens


[Chorus]
G                         A               D
I smashed that phone that didn't call you up to say I'm sorry
  G                       A                 D
I crashed that truck that took me on out of town
  G             A                  D                G
I laid the soul six feet down that walked me out on you
  D              A            D      C G
Tonight, I put a bullet in my boots


[Verse 2]
D                          G
Love makes a steel-hearted man lose his mind
     D                           G
I've never killed nothing except whiskey and time
         D
But they let my world go up in smoke
         G
And they let me leave, so they had to go


[Chorus]
  G                       A               D
I smashed that phone that didn't call you up to say I'm sorry
  G                       A                 D
I crashed that truck that took me on out of town
  G             A                  D                G
I laid the soul six feet down that walked me out on you
  D              A            D
Tonight, I put a bullet in my boots


[Bridge]
         Bm7                            A             D
It's too late, there they are, cold and lonely in the yard
      G                           Gm
Empty as that bottle, broke as my heart


[Chorus]
  G                       A               D
I smashed that phone that didn't call you up to say I'm sorry
  G                       A                 D
I crashed that truck that took me on out of town
  G             A                  D                G
I laid the soul six feet down that walked me out on you
  D              A            D
Tonight, I put a bullet in my boots
                 A            D
Tonight, I put a bullet in my boots


[Outro]
D
   God rest in peace, that old pair of elevens
