G
[Verse 1]
G C G I'm so tired of hearing tales of coming news Em C G Telling tales of a changing sky G C G It's just a shame that I didn't notice you Em C G Till someone I loved had to die G C G What made us think that this was so different Em C G Who is driving behind those things you say G C G Why do you insult me and my friends Em C G Who are my friends anyway G C G I've spent my life lying now I pay the price Em C C G Are these really words of a young man or a worthless human life G C G I don't mean to scare you with the things I say Em C G I take it back, yes it's a beautiful day G C G I watched you from the beach when your ship sailed Em C G You made it clear that nothing stays the same G C G It's getting darker I wonder if you could tell Em C G I wonder when did all that change
[Riff] x4
[Verse 2]
G C G You never used to let me go un--- Em C C G I was so distracted I never saw the rain G C G You promised you meant every word you said Em C G I wonder when did all that change G C G It hurts so bad to hear such pretty words Em C G coming from somebody like you G C G I've been looking for so long that I've lost touch Em C G With what's the best something to do G C G I've got a friend who makes good choices Em C G Everyone likes the way that he sees things G C G I've got a problem and it walks me daily Em C G Can't you see no one's proud of me G C G It's a long road alone and I'm not proving Em C G Anything going by myself G C G When your love light is on and really moving Em C G Oh sugar girl I do appreciate the help
[Riff] x4
[Verse 3]
G C G I had my fun with money gold and diamonds Em C G Thought went sour before they got to me G C G I'll be waiting girl but don't go counting hours Em C G I'm not waiting for any of the three G C G I was just a peasant from the highlands Em C G She said don't you call me your mountain girl G C G I said don't bother me I'm trying to write and Em C G don't worry you ain't my mountain girl G C G I can call you but I'd probably make you cry Em C G These days it's what you often times do G C G Call the preacher then go call your father Em C G Tell them that the wedding plans have moved G C G I sent a message, said I'd be gone forever Em C G The letter of reply never came G C G She said that she'd be true but I wouldn't let her Em C G I wonder when did all that change
[Riff] x4
[Verse 4]
G C G Hell has no fury like a woman Em C G Happy scorned or otherwise G C G You can do what you want to with your name Em C G But you can bet I'm changing mine G C G Well I'd give a hundred dollars to get a letter Em C G If at the bottom it said I miss you bad G C G See but the truth of the matter is no one back home really misses me Em C G You see how I talk when I'm sad G C G Since I was young I've known a lot of women Em G C who said they'd give their love to me...
