[Intro]
 
C G D G
 
 
[Verse]
 
                        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.
 
G                       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
Oh, you should've known better.
        D
Oh baby, yes I do
        G
Well darlin', now I do.
 
 
[Verse]
 
G                       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.
G                       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.
 
 
[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
Oh, you should've known better.
        D
Oh baby, yes I do
        G
Well darlin', now I do.
 
 
[Verse]
 
G                       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.
G                       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.
 
 
[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
Oh, you should've known better.
        D
Oh baby, yes I do
        G
Well darlin', now I do.
