Toilet Paper Blues
Carrie Underwood

Verse 1:
    G                          C
I'm checking off my list, everything seems just right
    G                          D
But when I reach for paper, it's nowhere in sight
    G                       C
Just my luck, it's always when I'm in a bind
    G                    D                G
Why does it happen every single time?

Chorus:
    C                           G
Toilet paper always running out at the worst time
    D                         G
Just my luck, can't believe it, what a crime
    C                 G
I'm stuck in a jam, feeling so unkind
    D                            G
Toilet paper blues, it's a real uphill climb

Verse 2:
    G                      C
I try to stay calm, keep my cool in check
    G                    D
But the panic hits me, what the heck
    G                           C
I search high and low, in every nook and cranny
    G                      D                   G
But no trace of TP, it's driving me batty

Chorus:
    C                           G
Toilet paper always running out at the worst time
    D                         G
Just my luck, can't believe it, what a crime
    C                 G
I'm stuck in a jam, feeling so unkind
    D                            G
Toilet paper blues, it's a real uphill climb

Bridge:
    Em                   C
I'll learn my lesson, stock up from now on
    Em                   C
Never again, will I be caught with the paper gone
    Em           C
I'll be prepared, ready for any strife
    Em                D
No more TP blues, in my life

Chorus:
    C                           G
Toilet paper always running out at the worst time
    D                         G
Just my luck, can't believe it, what a crime
    C                 G
I'm stuck in a jam, feeling so unkind
    D                            G
Toilet paper blues, it's a real uphill climb

Outro:
    G                     C
So let this be a cautionary tale
    G                     D
Always keep your supply, never fail
    G                  C
Don't let the toilet paper blues get you down
    G                           D          G
Keep it stocked up, don't let it run aground
