HARDY feat Lainey Wilson - wait in the truck

Capo: 1st fret

[Intro]
C C Bb Am
C C Bb7 Am7

[Verse]
C
I got turned around in some little town
Bb Am
I’d never been to before
C
Working my way through a middle-of-June
Bb Am7
Midnight thunderstorm

C
There was something in the headlights
Bb Am
It stopped me on a dime
C
Well, she was scared to death, so I said
Bb Am
Climb in and then she climbed

C Bb Am
Ohh, ohh ohh yeah

[Verse]
C
Well, she was bruised and broke from head to toe
Bb Am
With a tear in her blood-stained shirt
C
She didn’t tell the whole truth but she didn’t have to
Bb Am7
I knew what had happened to her

C
I didn’t load her down with questions
Bb Am
That girl had been through enough
C
I just threw it in drive, looked in those eyes
Bb Am7
And I asked her where he was

[Chorus]
C
I don’t know if he’s an angel
Bb F
‘Cause angels don’t do what he did
C
He was hellbent to find the man behind
Bb F
All the whiskey scars I hid

C
I never thought my day of justice
Bb F
Would come from a judge under a seat
C Bb
But I knew right then I’d never get hit again
F
When he said to me

C
Wait in the truck
Bb F
Just wait in the truck

[Verse]
C
Well I knocked and knocked and no one came
Bb Am
So I kicked in his double-wide door
C
I let the hammer drop before he got
Bb Am7
To that twelve he was reaching for

C
I didn’t try to hide my pistol
Bb Am7
I didn’t even try to run
C
I just sat on the porch, smoking one of his cigarettes
Bb Am7
And waited for the cops to come

[Chorus]
C
I don’t know if he’s an angel
Bb F
‘Cause angels don’t do what he did
C
He was hellbent to find the man behind
Bb F
All the whiskey scars I hid

C
I never thought my day of justice
Bb F
Would come from a judge under a seat
C Bb
But I knew right then I’d never get hit again
F
When he said to me

C
Wait in the truck
Bb F
Just wait in the truck

[Post-Chorus]
C
Whoa oah (whoa)
Bb F
Have mercy on me, Lord
C
Have mercy on me

Bb F
Have mercy on me-e (hey), Lord

[Bridge]
C
It’s been sixty months and she still comes
Bb F
To see me from time to time
C
It was worth the price, to see a brighter side
Bb Am
Of the girl I picked up that night

C
And I might be here forever
Bb C
It ain’t paradise that’s true
C
But it’s a whole hell of a lot better
Bb F
Than the place I sent him to, yeah

[Outro]
C
(Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy on me)
Bb
Wait in the truck (have mercy on me)
F C
Just wait in the truck

(Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy on me)
Bb
Wait in the truck (Lord, have mercy)
F C
Just wait in the truck

Bb
(Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy on me)
F C
Lord, have mercy on me

Bb
(Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy on me)
F
Lord
C
(Have mercy on me)

(Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy on me)
Bb
Wait in the truck
F C
Just wait in the truck

(Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy on me)
Bb
Wait in the truck
F C
Just wait in the truck (have mercy)

C Bb Am Bb C
