E
A girlfriend came to my house

Started cryin' on my shoulder Sunday evening

She was spinnin' such a sad tale

So negative the words she had to say
B A/D
I said if I had a violin I'd play.
E A
I said you'd better get to livin', givin'
B
Be willing and forgivin'
E A B
Cause all healing has to start with you

You better stop whining, pining

Get your dreams in line

And then just shine, design, refine

Until they come true

And you better get to livin'.
