C#m E A  E


[Verse 1]

A
All I ever wanted
      E
Was a walk down the road
A                         E
With you there holding my arm
C#m              E
But the hoot owl moans
A          E
For me all alone
Tell me pretty baby
                     B        E
Are you really gonna break my heart?


[Verse 2]

A
Has it all been a lie
     E
No I can't believe that
A                         E
Tell me what I hear isn't true
       C#m        E
Is the owl in the oak tree
    A             E
The only one here with me
Tell me pretty baby
                     B
Are you really gonna break my heart?


[Instrumental]

C#m  E  A  E B A


[Verse 3]

A
Is it death or livin
     E
That scares me the most
         A               E
Or is it just plain bein alone
          C#m    E
Seems I'm always alone
          A        E
When that hoot owl moans
Tell me pretty baby
                     B
Are you really gonna break my heart?


[Chorus 1]

      C#m            E
Don't call me, don't write me
         A         E
And I'll leave you alone
                      A
So we can forget what we had
    C#m        E
The owl can console me
         A        E
With his midnight tune
But I don't think I've ever
        B
Felt so sad


[Chorus 2]
                  E
So I draw all the curtains
And I lock all the doors
      A
And I dream of that walk
         E
Down the road
        C#m             E
But the hoot owl awakes me
      A           E
And a cold shiver shakes me
Tell me pretty baby
                     B
Are you really gonna break my heart?
