Capo on 2
 
(I don't know how to Tab but the opening riff is just the G and B strings on the 3/4 fret, slid down to
1/2 fret and then plucked open..if that makes sense.. just play around on those and you'll get it)
 
 
 
                          C
Perfumed letters of an earlier time.
                          G
Memories of ladies now lay far behind.
                          D
Too many lovers makes her heart go blind.
                          G
Well, I should've known better.
 
                          C
I was so foolish and I chased the sun.
                          G
Young once and fine, now my days are done.
                          D
Too many lovers makes you on the run.
                          G
Well, I should've known better.
 
 
(Chorus)
        C
Well, I tried too hard and spoke too soon.
       G
Oh, I got too drunk and shot the moon.
D
All the while I'd look at you and you'd say,
C                        G
Oh, you should've known better baby.
C                        G
Oh, you should've known better baby.
C                        G                        D
Oh, you should've known better .... Oh baby, yes I do
                     G
Well darlin', now I do.
 
 
 
                          C
I jump from roof tops both far and wide.
                          G
I stole their kisses and I robbed them blind.
                    D
Leaving lovers in a bed of lies.
                        G
Well, I should've known better.
 
                   C
I was a lion tamer long ago.
                        G
A veteran in the art of fooling ghosts
                          D
Much too lonely for their hearts to know.
                        G
Well I should've known better.
 
 
(Repeat Chorus)
 
                     C
Now, an old man and nothing more.
                       G
Much too tired, oh, to even scores.
                            D
My wife, she left me back in '94.
                        G
Well I should've known better.
 
                        C
And as I sit within my shallow grave.
                           G
Looking for answers, oh, I should've saved.
                            D
Just out of heaven's reach, amazing grace.
                       G
Well I should've known better.
 
 
(Repeat Chorus)
(Repeat end of Chorus)
Oh, you should've known better baby.
Oh, you should've known better baby.
Oh, you should've known better.
Oh baby, now I do.
Well baby, now I do.
