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...
