Verse 1:

Am
Too many nights, nothing to do

Am
Drive out to the levee and I think about you

Am
I think about my coat hanging on your door

Am      N.C.
I think about your dress lying on the floor

Chorus:

C                 G
You say you don't love me

                 F
Well I think you might

E               G        Am
Meet me on the levee tonight

Verse 2:

Am
Backtalk and rumors all around town

Am
I say the word, your new man coming around

Am
Betty told Jimmy and Jimmy told me

Am               N.C.
Now I'm standing on the levee I just cannot believe

Chorus:

C                 G
You say you don't love me

                 F
Well I think you might

Bridge:

C       G                      Am
Old Man River running wild and free

C            G                 E
He found his lover between the devil

And the deep blue sea

Am           E           G       Am
Ain't that a little like you and me

Am     E            G      Am
Just a little like you and me

Verse 3:

N.C.
I know your lips, the cut of your hair

N.C.
The shape of your hips, baby I've been there

N.C.
Deep in your heart, beneath your breast

Am     N.C.
I know you know which one is the best

Chorus:

C                 G
You say you don't love me

                 F
Well I think you might

E                G     Am
Prove it on the levee tonight

E               G      Am
Meet me on the levee tonight

Verse 5:

Am
Too many nights, nothing to do

Am
Drive out to the levee and I think about you

Am
Think about my coat hanging on your door

Am      N.C.
And I think about your dress. It was lying on the floor

Chorus:

C                 G
You say you don't love me

        F
But you might

E               G      Am
Meet me on the levee tonight

C                 G
You say you don't love me

                 F
Well I think you might

         E               G      Am
And I'll prove it on the levee tonight

E               G       Am
Meet me on the levee tonight
