Randy Travis - Only Worse

Capo: 2nd fret

[Intro]
D A7 G D A7 G

[Verse 1]

D A7 G
I just dropped in ’cause I could use a friend and a little bit of consolation
D A7 G
I’m hangin’ by a thread from the southern end of my rope
D A7 Bm G
If you really wanna know I’ll do my best to explain my situation
Em A7
Maybe I can find the words if the tears don’t get me first

[Chorus]
D A
It’s kinda like fallin’ from the sky when you’re up a mile high
G G/F# G
And your parachute won’t open
D A G
It’s kinda like clingin’ to the bottom of the bottom When the bottom drops out
D A Bm G
The only way I know to say how bad her leavin’ hurts
D A7 G D
It’s kinda like a heartache, only worse, only worse

[Verse 2]
D A7 G
It wasn’t my first brush with love but this one was the deepest
D A7 G
Yeah I’ve been blue but this time it’s closer to black
D A7 Bm G
I swore I’d never get hurt again but here I am in pieces
Em A7
When this one broke my heart, that was just the start

[Chorus]
D A
It’s kinda like fallin’ from the sky when you’re up a mile high
G G/F# G
And your parachute won’t open
D A G
It’s kinda like clingin’ to the bottom of the bottom When the bottom drops out
D A Bm G
The only way I know to say how bad her leavin’ hurts
D A7 G D
It’s kinda like a heartache, only worse, only worse

[Bridge]
Bm Em A
It’s kinda like bein’ cut open
G D
Kinda like bein’ burned at the stake
Bm Bm/A Em G
Kinda like drownin’ in the ocean
A7
Knowin’ there’s no help on the way

(KEY CHANGE)

[Chorus]
E B
It’s kinda like fallin’ from the sky when you’re up a mile high
A A/G# A
And your parachute won’t open
E B A
Kinda like clingin’ to the bottom of the bottom when the bottom drops out
E B C#m A
The only way I know to say how bad her leavin’ hurts
E B7 A E
It’s kinda like a heartache, only worse, only worse

[Outro]
E E B7 A E
