The Weakest Man Chords & Lyrics - Drive-by Truckers

[Notes]
Cooley tunes a half step down for this. So the actual key he sings in is Bb.

[VERSE]

[C]It's a shame for you to do me the way you did babe
[G]Making me put you down before I was [C]through
[F]You tempted me and tried me and [G]I kept you right beside me
[D7]You ruined me for everyone but [G7]you

[C]It's easy to love a thing so warm and soothing
[G]That gets you through the night so t[C]enderly
[F]but after all these nights with [C]you all I remember
[G]Is forgetting just how cold your heart could [C]be

[CHORUS]

[F]Leaving you wont be any [C]harder than [G]walking out the door and leaving [C]town
[F]but I'll be leaving knowing surviving [C]you don't make me [Am]stronger
[G]Than the weakest man who ever turned you down

[Notes]
Runs Through chord progression once, on the last G, he replaces it with an G# (instead of G)
to make the transition

[VERSE]

[C#]The body in that pretty dress you wore dear
[G#]Fit my shaking hand just like a [C#]glove
[F#]but trembling's for the fearful o[C#]ld and crying
[D#]Getting old and sad and scared a[G#]in't worth your love

[C#]so will you let me go just like I came babe?
[G#]Willful clear of mind and free to see[C#]
[F#]Clear enough to see the others li[C#]ke you
[G#]and mindful my will breaks so easily

[CHORUS]

[F#]Leaving you wont be any h[C#]arder than wa[G#]lking out the door and leaving tow[C#]n
[F#]but I'll be leaving knowing surviving y[C#]ou don't make me [Bbm]stronger
[G#]Than the weakest man who ever turned you [C#]down
