Chords with lyrics
by Jackie Greene
standard tuning, no capo
The strumming is a little difficult, so listen closely to the recording. I didn't type
in, but some of the "D"s switch quickly to "Dsus4" (xx0233) and back, and the "Am"s in
pre-chorus switch to "Asus2" (002200) and back.

D MajorD
G+G
Cry, cry, mud in your eye
A minorAm
Oh, you’re going through the reasons why
G+G
Doing anything to justify
D MajorD
How it got this way
G+G
Diamond necklace, diamond rings
A minorAm
Oh, how much more it stings
G+G
Watching you collect your things
D MajorD
And what you want to say
D MajorD
Ought to say, ought to say
D MajorD
And you say, and you say
A minorAm
That I don’t owe you nothing
C majorC
I never could tell that you
A minorAm
You don’t need my loving
C majorC
Just get it from someone else
C majorC
C majorC
I just want a reason to be free from you
G+G
Yes I do
G+G
Too much time, and too much wine
A minorAm
Cut a hole in this heart of mine
G+G
But I’ll lie and say I’m feeling fine
D MajorD
Sleepin’ in my clothes
G+G
I could be right, I could be wrong
A minorAm
To think about you while I’m gone
G+G
Love writes the saddest songs
D MajorD
And that’s just how it goes
D MajorD
Yes it goes, yes it goes
D MajorD
And it goes, yes it goes
A minorAm
Now I don’t owe you nothing
C majorC
I never could tell that you
A minorAm
You don’t need my loving
C majorC
Just get it from someone else
C majorC
C majorC
I just want a reason to be free from you
G+G
Yes I do
D MajorD
G+G
Now all this pain I can’t explain
A minorAm
It’s like running out of cover in the pouring rain
G+G
It’s like waving goodbye to a train
D MajorD
That’s moving down the track
G+G
And all I know when the day is done
A minorAm
You can’t love just anyone
G+G
It don’t matter where they’re going
D MajorD
Or if they’re ever coming back
D MajorD
Coming back, coming back
D MajorD
Coming back, they ain’t coming back
A minorAm
But I don’t owe you nothing
C majorC
I never could tell that you
A minorAm
You don’t need my loving
C majorC
Just get it from someone else
C majorC
C majorC
I just want a reason to be free from you
G+G
Yes I do
C majorC
