John Cougar Mellencamp - Weakest Moments

intro : A D A D ( x2 )

A D
well i hear downstairs you’re foolin’ around
A D
with your fathers brother and your mothers gown
A D
and all the old heroes keep comin’ around
G D
to find out if you’re still alone

A D
so you lie in the sun , watch your body turn tan
A D
your skin is oiled with the sweat of a man
A D
he bought you a diamond ring girl to wear on your hand
G D
and baby he’s leavin’ tomorrow

chorus :
D E
yeah well i’ll be here with you
F#m A
in your weakest moments , uh – huh
D E
yeah i’ll be there with you
A
in your weakest moments

A D G D

A D
well you say you can’t remember when it was your world
A D
and you were mister ruby’s girl
A D
he gave you dreams and schemes that swirled
G D
around your head and body

A D
and when you drink sometimes you try to liberate
A D
and you stagger in the front yard girl ’til you find the gate
A D
that swings on the thin line of love and hate
G D
baby just let it go

chorus :
D E
yeah well i’ll be here with you
F#m A
in your weakest moments , uh – huh
D E
yeah i’ll be there with you
A
in your weakest moments
