"Off the Record"
Note: After the intro, the whole song is played by a guitar/mandolin duet. While
the guitar predominantly playes Am (where notated), the mandolin tends to play Am7
adding a subtle effect, so feel free to use the two A chords interchangably.
capo: 2nd fret
Intro:
G Em Am7 D
G Em Am7 D Cadd9
Verse 1:
G Em
I got a letter from your lawyer, you got one from mine
Am D
they both say its gonna be final, once we sign that dotted line
G Em
Well I guess we'll get our freedom, and a so called fresh new start
Am D
when you take half of everything, you'll be takin' half my heart
Am Em
Our love got lost some where, in life's complications
Am D Cadd9
t'all between two lawyers, and their legal intigations
Chorus:
G Em
Off the record, there's somethin' I need to say to you
Am D
this ain't easy, but it's what my heart has to do
G Em
cause I can't let you go, until I let you know
Am7 D G
off the record, I'm still in love with you
Verse 2:
G Em
I took down our wedding picture, from above the fireplace
Am D
I stood there a while, staring at your pretty face
G Em
Have we lost our love, the differences we cant resolve
Am D
but if push comes to shove, thank God no children are involved
G Em
I can still see you throwin' your rose boquet
Am D
never thought I'd see the day, we'd throw it all away
Chorus:
G Em
Off the record, there's somethin' I need to say to you
Am D
this ain't easy, but it's what my heart has to do
G Em
cause I can't let you go, until I let you know
Am7 D G
off the record, I'm still in love with you
Mandolin Solo
Bridge:
Am Em
I've done all I can do, all I can do is pray
Am D Cadd9
and ask the good lord, to let me hear you say,
Chorus:
G Em
Off the record, there's somethin' I need to say to you
Am D
this ain't easy, but it's what my heart has to do
G Em
cause I can't let you go, until I let you know
Am7 D G
off the record, I'm still in love with you
Am7 D G
girl off the record, I'm still in love with you.
