'Best Of Me' by Brantley Gilbert - Guitar Tutorial

            Capo 1st fret

INTRO: G D/F Em D Cadd9

       G
I found a box of memories,

Read a letter,
       D/F
Dropped a tear where you signed your name,
           Em
And turning the page,
         D           Cadd9
Smearing the ink into "Love Always."

       G
Girl, I always start this way a
                  D/F
End then I end up in a bottle screaming out your name,
          Em        D               Cadd9
Punching the walls, carrying on like I've gone insane,

Bm
And in the mirror,
                          Em
I can see the man who just shook his head with no remorse,
Bm
Watching an angel cry her tears,
             Em                  D
Stepping over my beers as you walked out the door.

           G
And there ain't nothing like a memory,
              Em
When it's coming on strong like a hurricane.
     Cadd9                    D/F
How can love like that just up and walk away?

Killing me baby.
         G
It's got me pouring up another drink,
               Em               
Bourbon's hitting me hard like a freight train,
     Cadd9                  D/F
With my back against the wall or on my knees,
                D                G   D   Cadd9
When the worst of your memory gets the best of me.

G                           E/F
Well, I remember it all too well, riding 441 down to Milledgeville,
         Em                    Cadd9     
Crossing the bridge as the sun set on Lake Sinclair.

        G
I couldn't wait to see you smile,
              E/F                          Em
But all I saw were tears in your pretty eyes and that said it all,
                  Cadd9
It was all downhill from there.
Bm                          Em
And I remember you saying, "Baby, please don't give up on me."
Bm                         Em            D
Oh my baby, this stubborn man is gonna lie in the bed he made.

           G
'Cause there ain't nothing like a memory,
              Em
When it's coming on strong like a hurricane.
     Cadd9                    D/F
How can love like that just up and walk away?

Killing me baby.
         G
It's got me pouring up another drink,
               Em               
Bourbon's hitting me hard like a freight train,
     Cadd9                   Em
With my back against the wall or on my knees,
                 D          G  Em       Cadd9   D
When the worst of your memory gets the best, the best of me.

              G
Baby, there ain't nothing like a memory,
               Em
When it's coming on strong like a hurricane.
     Cadd9                   D/F
How can love like that just up and walk away?
Your killing me baby.
       G
Got me pouring up another drink,
               Em
Bourbon's hitting me hard like a freight train,
     Cadd9                   D/F
With my back against the wall or on my knees,
                  D
When the words to your memory gets the best, the best of me.
