Verse:
A augmentedA D MajorD
Well I'm afraid that it's true, I'm leavin' you
A augmentedA E MajorE
But rest assured, tomorrow I'll be home.
A augmentedA D MajorD
Cuz you know I never could, I never was no good
A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA
Lord knows at bein' on my own.
A augmentedA D MajorD
Never was the type to want to settle down,
A augmentedA E MajorE
But never had the nerve to ramble on.
A augmentedA D MajorD
So I'm leaving here tonight, but I'll be back before dawn
A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA
So leave a light on, and keep my supper warm.
Chorus:
A augmentedA
Never been a fighter or a lover,
A augmentedA E MajorE
never thought that either made much sense.
A augmentedA A7A7 D MajorD D7D7
and I can't decide on this way or the other,
A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA
So I live my life just sittin on this fence.
Verse:
A augmentedA D MajorD
and today I feel restless, tomorrow I won't fret this,
A augmentedA E MajorE
There's no tellin' what this boy will do,
A augmentedA D MajorD
but baby guarantee, the moment that I'm free,
A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA
that's when I'll come crawlin' back to you.
Chorus
Bridge:
E MajorE D MajorD A augmentedA
and I don't know how you can stand it, I don't know why you stay,
E MajorE D MajorD A augmentedA
but you know I never planned it, to turn out this way,
E MajorE D MajorD A augmentedA
and I would understand it, if you couldn't take any more,
D MajorD E MajorE
of my always keeping one foot out the door.
Verse:
A augmentedA D MajorD
and I want to get married, I want to raise a family,
A augmentedA E MajorE
do like all the other people do,
A augmentedA A7A7 D MajorD D7D7
But what self-respecting woman, would ever have me and not stab me,
A augmentedA E MajorE D7D7
When I wanna have my cake and eat it too
