Not For The Life Of Me chords

[Intro] (Slow & Light)
[G] [C7] [G] [D9]

[VERSE 1]
I [G]studied all the pictures in magazines and books
I [G]memorized the subway map too
It's one[C] block north to Macy's and two to Br[Eb]others Brooks
Manhatta[G/D]n, I prepared for [D7]you

[VERSE 2]
You cert[G/D]ainly are diff'rent from what they have back home
Wh[G]ere nothing's over three[F/A] stories high
And [C]no one's in a hurry or wants to roam
But I do[G/D] , though they wonder [D7]why

[PRE-CHORUS]
They [B9]said I would soon be good and lonely
They [Am6]said I would sing the homesick blues
So I [D#m]always have this ticket in my pocket
[F#m7]A ticket home in my pocket
To do with as I ch[A7]oose

[Turn] (Rip that Ticket)
N.C.
Burn the bridge, bet the store
[Ab]Baby's coming home no more
[Bb]Not for the life of me
[Ab]Break the lock, post my bail
[Ab]Done my time, I'm out of jail
[Bb]Not for the life of me

[BRIDGE]
[G]A life that's gotta be more than a [D]one-light town
[G]Where the light is always red

Gotta be more than an old ghost town
Where the [A7]ghost ain't even dead

[Outro] (Dixieland!)
[Ab]Clap-a-your hands, [Eb]just-a-because
[Ab]Don't you know that where I am ain't [Db]where I was

N.C.
Boh-doh-dee-oh
[Eb]Not for the life of

Not for the life of
Not for the life of [Ab]me!
