 Who Am I To Say
 Recorded by Justin Townes Earle
 Intro.: |  |  |  |  --
 Well now  who am I to say?  If all I know is what I heard
 With the  things some people say you can never be to  sure
   But who  cares where you find comfort, I'm  no one to deny
   Anybody what they need to  take them through a night
 'Cause  who am I to say, what you should  do behind close  doors  |
 Well now  who am I to say?  I've been trouble almost  all my life
 I took  pleasure in such things most wouldn't entertain not at the  darkest of times
   So you  take your pills and poison,  drink yourself to death
   Give yourself away until you  ain't got nothing left
 'Cause  who am I to say that there's  anything  wrong with that  |
 Oh, but  why do you call  at such  hours every time
 Saying  I don't need no  money, I've just been  thinkin' of you tonight
 Oh, but  who am I to say?  Maybe you  had good intentions at  heart
 Maybe  you took truer aim and it was me who missed my mark
   But for  every word of anger,  left unexplained
   for every time that I  turned you away
   Who am I to say that it  wasn't for the  better, girl?  |
 Who am I to  say? |  |  ---
 My favorite of his.
 Enjoy!

Well now  [G] who am I to say?  [C]  I've been trouble almost  [G] all my life

Oh, but  [G] who am I to say?  [C]  Maybe you  [D] had good intentions at  [G] heart

Maybe  [C] you took truer aim and it was me who missed my mark  [G]

 [F#] But for  [Em] every word of anger,  [C] left unexplained
 [Am]  for every time that I  [D] turned you away

 [G] Who am I to say that it  [C] wasn't for the  [D] better, girl?  [G]   |  [C]   [D]

Who am I to  [C] say?  |  [D]   |  [G]  ---
