Play Ryth Fig. 1 total of 2x over these verses (doubled by clean electric)

Baby we can talk all night
But that ain’t getting us nowhere
I told you everything I possibly can
There’s nothing left inside of here

And maybe you can cry all night
But that’ll never change the way that I feel
The snow is really piling up outside
I wish you wouldn’t make me leave here (Fill 1)

    D             A
You’ll never find your gold on a sandy beach
    D            A
You’ll never drill for oil on a city street
       D            A
I know your looking for a ruby in a mountain of rocks
     G
But there ain’t no Coupe de Ville
             E
Hiding at the bottom of a Cracker Jack box


 C#M
I can’t lie (I can’t lie)

Play w/Rhth. Fig 1
Now there’s only one girl that I will ever love
And that was so many years ago
And though I know I’ll never get her out of my heart
She never loved me back, ohh I know

Well I remember how she left me on that stormy night
Oh she kissed me and got out of our bed
And though I pleaded and I begged her not to walk out that door
She packed her bags and turned right away
    D    E
And she kept on telling me
	D	 E
She kept on telling me
   D  D  E
She kept on telling me
