Dierks Bentley - What Was I Thinkin'

Capo I Fret  

Intro : (E)  (C)  (D)   (A)

(E) Becky was a beauty from South Alabam'
Her (C) daddy had a heart like a 9-pound hammer
(D) Think he even did a little time in the slammer
(A7) What was I thinkin'
She (E) snuck out one night and met me by the front gate
Her (C) daddy came out wavin' that 12-gauge
(D) Tore out of the drive, he peppered my tailgate
(A7) What was I thinkin'
I (B7) knew there'd be hell to pay
But, that crossed my mind a little too late

   Cause I was (E) thinkin' 'bout a (D) little white (A) tank top
   (G) Sittin' right (E) there in the (D) middle by (A) me 
   I was (E) thinkin' 'bout a (D) long kiss 
   (A) Man just (G) gotta get
   (E) Goin' where the (D) night might (A) lead
   I (B7) know what I was feelin' (D)   (A)
   But, what was I th(E)inkin' (C)  (D)  (A)

By the (E) county line, the cop's were nippin' on my heels
(C) Pulled off the road, kicked it in 4-wheel
(D) Shut off the lights, tore through a corn field
(A7) What was I thinkin'
From the (E) other side, she was hollerin' "faster"
(C) Took a dirt road, had the radio blastin'
(D) Hit the honky tonk for a little close dancin'
(A7) What was I thinkin'
Oh, I (B) knew there'd be hell to pay
But, that crossed my mind a little too (E) late

Repeat Chorus

Solo: (E5)  (F#)  (B7)  (F#)  (C)  (D)  (E5)  (E5)

When a (E) mountain of a man with a 'Born To Kill' tattoo
Tr(C)ied to cut in, I knocked out his front tooth
(D) Ran outside, hood-slidin' like Bo Duke
(A7) What was I thinkin'
(E) Finally got her home at half past 2 - late
Her (C) daddy, in a lawn chair, sittin' on the driveway
(D) Put it in park, and he started my way
(A7) What was I thinkin'
Oh...(G) what was I thinkin'
(C) What was I thinkin'

Then she (B7) gave a come-and-get-me grin
Like a bullet, we were gone a(B7)gain 

Repeat Chorus

(Ad lib and fade out...)
