G                   C
Nobody knows it but I am so sad

G                   Bm
Nobody knows it but I am so sad

C               D          G
And that is the saddest of all my girl

C           D             G$
That is the saddest of all

G                     C
We climbed the ladder to the top of my house

G             Bm
Never letting go of your hand

C              D                G
The sky trades the moon for the sun my girl

C              D                   G$
The sky trades the moon for the sun

G                    C
And I gave to you my ugly brown coat

G                  Bm
You made it pretty when you put it on

C             D             G
Warmth in the early morning chill my girl

C             D          G$
Warmth in the early April

G                   C
Then you said you’d trade the love of a man

G                    Bm
Tears fell soft from your face to my hands

C          D                    G
Said you’d trade your heart for mine my girl

C        D                      G$
I traded my heart for those days

G                     C
And you made it clear it was strictly a deal

G                      Bm
Of springtime love and that’s how I should feel

C            D                 G
So I set the clock back an hour my girl

C         D                G$
I set the time a just right

G                            C
You see somewhere back there when I was boy

G             Bm
Furious I had become by the point

C            D              G
That men are just liars and thieves of sorts

C       D                     G$
Men are just liars and thieves

G                       C
But I still believe and I stand by my words

G                          Bm
I don’t know what you have seen or you’ve heard

C              D            G
But somebody’s lying to you my girl

C          D           G$
Somebody’s lying to you

G                  C
You really made me believe I could stay

G                     Bm
Part with you actions in part what you said

C            D                  G
But that was just foolish pride my girl

C         D                       G$
And those are only feelings inside

G                    C
So I’m going back to the place where we met

G                     Bm
I’m going to find the beer bottle we left

C             D                 G
Wedged in the limbs of the tree that we sat in

C             D            G$
Wedged in the magnolia tree

G                    C
Well we hid for days like a proud pair of thieves

G                      Bm
Too sure we were right too stubborn too leave

C           D                    G
Wasted with the moment we lifted my girl

C           D          G
Stolen forever with you
