                   IF SHE EVER LEAVES ME - CD VERSION
                              THE HIGHWOMEN


CAPO: 1st FRET

INTRO:
G   Bm   C   G   Bm   Bm   Am

VERSE:
G          Bm              C         G
I see you watch her from across the room
 G                        Am   D
Dancing her home in your mind
    G               Bm         C                 G
It takes more than whiskey to make that flower bloom
         G                 D              G
By the third drink you`ll find out she`s mine


CHORUS:
      G            Bm
I`ve loved her in secret
      C             G
I`ve loved her out loud
     G                      D
The sky hasn`t always been blue

     G
It might last forever
       C              G
Or it might not work out
    G                     D            G
If she ever leaves me it won`t be for you


VERSE:
     G          Bm         C        G
She loves wild horses and tumbling dice
     G                     Am   D
She don`t have a single tattoo
        G             Bm          C            G
She`ll drink all the liquor and leave you the ice
        G                 D            G
That`s too much cologne, she likes perfume


CHORUS:
      G            Bm
I`ve loved her in secret
      C             G
I`ve loved her out loud
     G                      D
The sky hasn`t always been blue

    G
It might last forever
       C              G
Or it might not work out
    G                     D            G
If she ever leaves me it won`t be for you


BREAK:
       Bm                 C             G
If she ever leaves it`s gonna be for a woman with more time
      Bm             C                   G
Who`s not afraid to let her dreams come true
       Em              C                G        C
If she ever gives her careful heart to somebody new
         A7                         D
Well it won`t be for a cowboy like you


INSTRUMENTAL:
Am   D   Am   D


CHORUS:
              G            Bm
Hey, y`all I loved her in secret
   C             G
I loved her out loud
     G                      D
The sky hasn`t always been blue
    G
It might last forever
       C              G
Or it might not work out
    G                     D           Em
If she ever leaves me it won`t be for you
    C         G           D            G
If she ever leaves me it won`t be for you
