E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA

Verse 1:
E MajorE
She'll be in Denver by the break of dawn
A augmentedA
 Her calloused heart, her regal charm
E MajorE
 Will grace the city in his open arms
A augmentedA
 And his bed come tonight.
E MajorE
 But me I'm stranded down on Silver Street
A augmentedA
 Just throwing bottles at the Delta Queen.
E MajorE                       A augmentedA
 She passes slow like your memory, makes the bend
         A minorAm
And floats out of sight.

Interlude:
E MajorE C# minorC#m A augmentedA
E MajorE C# minorC#m A augmentedA

Verse 2:
E MajorE
Austin, Texas: mattress on the floor.
A augmentedA
 We'd buy some grass from the kid next door.
E MajorE
 We'd bitch of love as if it was a chore
    A augmentedA
But we made it to ease both our minds.
E MajorE
 First time I lost you was a mean curveball
A augmentedA
 Thrown in Las vegas down a hotel hall.
E MajorE
 Why we stuck it out, man, I can't recall,
     A augmentedA         A minorAm
Seems my honesty's always on trial.

Chorus:
E MajorE C# minorC#m A augmentedA              E MajorE C# minorC#m A augmentedA
     And I never once called you baby
A augmentedA            E MajorE C# minorC#m  A augmentedA
I never once called you anything.
A augmentedA            E MajorE C# minorC#m A augmentedA
I never once called you baby
A augmentedA             E MajorE      A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA
I always thought you were more to me.

Verse 3:
E MajorE
 And I saw him coming with his suit and tie.
A augmentedA
 His hair slicked back looked a lot like mine.
E MajorE
 But that was years ago and over time
    A augmentedA
Lost my scissors, my comb, and my style.
E MajorE
 And how he watched us at the table there
A augmentedA
 As we caught up on our when-and-wheres.
E MajorE
 Our escapades, our life-ain't-fairs,
       A augmentedA            A minorAm
And how you'll be leaving with him tonight.

Chorus:
E MajorE C# minorC#m A augmentedA            E MajorE C# minorC#m A augmentedA
     And I bet he calls you baby
A augmentedA            E MajorE C# minorC#m  A augmentedA
I never once called you anything.
A augmentedA           E MajorE C# minorC#m A augmentedA
Oh I bet he calls you baby
A augmentedA             E MajorE      A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA
I always thought you were more to me.

Verse 4:
E MajorE
So if I'm breathing on some solid ground
A augmentedA
 And what went up the river comes back down
E MajorE
 Maybe we'll meet again next time around
  A augmentedA
And talk of those vagabond times.
E MajorE
 Keep all your stubbornness and pretty smile,
A augmentedA
 Keep all your dreams about that unborn child,
E MajorE
 Keep both your feet out of the wedding aisle,
     A augmentedA           A minorAm    E MajorE
