Thought You Should Know

	 
[Verse]
G 
What's goin' on mama 
D/F# 
Something just dawned on me 
Am7                          C 
I ain't been home in some months 
G 
Been chasin' songs and women 
D/F# 
Making some bad decisions 
Am7                          C 
God knows I'm drinking too much 
         G                         D/F# 
Yeah, I know you've been worrying 'bout me 
              Am7               C 
You've been losing sleep since '93
[Chorus]
G                     D/F#                 Am7                     C 
I thought you should know that all those prayers you thought you wasted on me 
G         D/F#                     Am7          C 
Must've finally made their way on through 
G                    D/F#               Am7                        C 
I thought you should know I've got me a new girl down there in Jefferson City and 
G           D/F#             Am7           C 
She lets me fish whenever I want to 
                  G 
Yeah, I'm still proud of where I came from 
D/F# 
Still your only damn son 
Am7                          C 
Can you believe I'm on the radio 
                         G                       D/F#                      Am7       C 
Just thought you should know, thought you should know, thought you should know
[Verse]
G 
Oh, by the way mama 
D/F# 
Didn't mean to ramble on ya 
Am7                       C 
How's everything back at home 
G 
Yeah, how's that garden coming? 
D/F# 
Is Dad still doing dumb shit 
Am7                      C 
How'd he keep you this long 
       G                         D/F# 
Yeah, I'm sorry that I called you so late 
       Am7              C 
I just miss you but anyway
[Chorus]
G                    D/F#                 Am7                      C

[Pre-Chorus]
            G                    D/F#

D/F# 
Still your only damn son 
    Am7                        C 
The bus is leaving so I gotta roll 
                         G                       D/F#                      Am7        C 
Just thought you should know, thought you should know, thought you should know

Though you should know
