Subject: Then What


Then What
By Clay Walker

I'm not sure if all of this is correct, in fact I know it's not all
correct.
It was a hard song to figure out, but this is my best shot.

Intro: E F#m E A  E A E F#m  E A  B  E
E                                        A
I got a good friend who's got a good life
               E                                       A
He's got too pretty children and a real nice wife
E                                         B
Yet he never seem quite satisfied
E                                 A
I said I know what's on your mind
                  E
But you better think about it before
          F#
You cross that line
          C#m                       A                            E
The grass ain't always greener on the other side
Chorus:
A
Then what? What you gonna do
                   E
When the new wears off and the old shines through
             B
And it ain't really love and it ain't really lust
                  E                      Ab
And you ain't anybody, anybody's gonna trust
E          A
Then what? Where you gonna turn
                   E
When you can't turn back from the bridges you've burned
         B
And fate can't wait to kick you in the butt
E                    A             E
Then what? Oh then what
E                                 A
I ain't saying that looking's a crime
          E                             A
I've done my share from time to time
E                                         B
It don't mean that you've got to take that leap
E                                   A
When you're standing on the brink
E
Before you jump you better step back and think
                 F#m                    C#m                    A       E
There's a price for every promise you don't keep
SOLO: A E A B
Repeat chorus:
        D  AM7                E                    B
But do what you want do what you wish
E                            B
It's your life, but remember this
               A          E                   B
There's bound to be some consequences

For sneaking under cross fences

Repeat chorus:
