It Only Takes One Bar (To Make A Prison)
Recorded by Tracy Lawrence
Written by Paul Nelson, Kenny Beard, Tracy Lawrence

G                     Bm            C               G
Last night she wasn't sleeping when I came slipping in
         D7     Em           A7                 D7
I knew I had it coming cause she knew where I'd been
           C                D7            G     D7       Em
She said a part of me walks out that door every time you leave
   Am                  C                 D7
So remember this while you’re out losin' me

   C                            G
It only takes one bar to make a prison
            Em             C              D7
You've been doing too much time away from home
                  C             D7          Em
She said it takes two hearts to hold a love together
       Am   Bm        C       D7  G
But it only takes one fool to be alone

                              Bm       C            G
She said I've sat here in the darkness one too many times
             D7          Em              A7           D7
And stealing thoughts of holding you has been my only crime
C            D7             G      D7       Em
Right then I realized she'd always have the key
           Am                    C             D7
And locked up in her arms is the only time I'm free

   C                            G
It only takes one bar to make a prison
            Em             C              D7
You've been doing too much time away from home
                  C             D7          Em
She said it takes two hearts to hold a love together
       Am   Bm        C       D7  G
But it only takes one fool to be alone

   C              D7     Em     G  C
It only takes one bar to make a prison
       Am   Bm        C       D7  G
And it only takes one fool to be alone
