What A Damn Shame

Tom : G
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
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

[Pre-chorus]
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

[Chorus]
[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
[Outro]
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
