Lovers chords by Mickey Newbury

Lovers

Intro: Em  A  Em  A  D  G  D  G

D              D/C#   D/C                 D/B
Once they were lovers but now they're not friends
Am                   G
She's found another, he says it's the end
Gm                              D
To think they once tore down a wall for a door
A7                      D
Now they don't speak anymore

So he walks the streets the few night he can stand
Drinkin' her memory away when he can
Friend's once would reach out  to them from the shore
But now they don't cry anymore

Em          A7         D
How does it all come to happen
Em         A7            D
That's not what lovin' is for
       Em           A7         D
And if I thought it was I would leave here in the mornin'
Em                      D
I'd sooner sleep on the floor

Oh, when will learn really what loving is
It's not what you get in return but what you give
To think they once tore down a wall for a door
Now they don't speak anymore..
