What A Damn Shame

G                       D
I went to the closet to see what I had
Em                         C
Pulled the one suit that I own from the rack
   G                         D
If I could tell the future I would've put it back
     Em     C
What a damn shame

G                            D
Mama always told me I should dress to impress
     Em                      C
So I pressed my slacks and I hoped for the best
   G                         D
If I could tell the future I would've tried less
     Em     C
What a damn shame

        Am                                       D
I heard Sinatra wouldn't be caught dead without a suit
           Am                                   D
I know I'm not him; my hair's more curly and my eyes a little less blue

            G
What a damn shame
            D
What a damn shame
            Em                     C
What a damn shame that it don't go right
            G                     D              G
What a damn shame to waste a good shirt on a bad night

G                       D
Waiter sat me down at a table for two
Em                                C
Asked me what I'm having said I'm waiting for you
       G                           D
By the look in his eyes I think he already knew
       Em   C
It's a damn shame

G                      D
After 'bout an hour he poured me a drink
         Em                                    C
He said "this one's on the house" I said "it's not what you think"
      G                          D
I bet he could tell my heart was starting to sink
      Em    C
What a damn shame

        Am                                        D
I heard Sinatra wouldn't be caught dead without a suit
           Am
I know I'm not him
                                   D
'Cause he wouldn't be sitting here getting stood up by you

            G
What a damn shame
            D
What a damn shame
            Em                     C
What a damn shame that it don't go right
            G                     D              G
What a damn shame to waste a good shirt on a bad night

G                                D
Guess I'll take the roses that I bought for you
Em                            C
Put them in some water in the living room
       G                       D
'Cause why should they have to suffer too?
      Em    C
What a damn shame

            G
What a damn shame
            D
What a damn shame
            Em                     C
What a damn shame that it don't go right
            G                     D              G
What a damn shame to waste a good shirt on a bad night

            G                     D              G
What a damn shame to waste a good shirt on a bad night
            G                     D              G
What a damn shame to waste a good shirt on a bad night
