[Verse 1]
---------------------
        Bm7/E              A       E
I got a picture of us back when we were close
          Bm7/E             A       E
Before we had  somebody picking out our clothes
        Bm7/E         A   E
But you always dressed in your Sunday best
     Bm7/E               A       E
Even when we didn't have nowhere to go
        Bm7/E             A      E
I got a picture of us playing in a bar
         Bm7/E           A         E
And your shirt cost more than your guitar
        Bm7/E         A     E
But you played so heavy and you always let me
       Bm7/E              A        E
Sing a couple even though you were the star

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
D               A          E
 I was the worse of the two of us
D               A              E
 But Rex's Blues wasn't through with us
D                      A           E      Bm
 You were bound for glory and grown to die
D                     Bm7/E A
 Oh, but why wasn't I?

[Post-Chorus]
---------------------
E             Bm7/E A E
 Why wasn't I?

[Verse 2]
---------------------
      Bm7/E               A        E
Saw a picture of you laughing with your child
      Bm7/E              A       E
And I hope she will remember how you smiled
        Bm7/E               E
But she probably wasn't old enough the night somebody sold you stuff
     Bm7/E           A       E
That left you on the bathroom tiles
      Bm7/E            A      E
Got a picture of you dying in my mind
          Bm7/E                    A       E
With some ghosts you couldn't bear to leave behind
     Bm7/E                    A      E
But I     can hear your voice ring as you snap another Bstring
        Bm7/E              A      E
And you finish off the set with only five

[Pre-Chorus]
---------------------
Bm                                          D
  And for a minute there, you're still alive

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
D                 A          E
 It's not up to me to forgive you
D                             A           E
 For the nights that your love had to live through
D                 A               E         Bm
 Now you'll never need to look me in the eye
D D             A          E
   I am the last of the two of us
D                        A             E
 But the Fort Worth Blues isn't through with us
D                      A         E      Bm
 You've traveled beyond the Great Divide
D                      Bm7/E A E
 Oh, but why haven't I?

[Outro]

Why haven't I?
