Intro: C 

   F                 G            C        F 
My hands are shaking as I'm sadly learning 
                 G                C     F 
The truth behind your innocent disguise 
                    G    Am                        D 
You never thought I knew, that you had been untrue 
      D                 G 
But I once saw the devil, somewhere in your eyes. 

 
        F                    G                C 
And now you got the nerve to ask me where I'm goin 
    F                   G             C 
And I don't believe I'd tell you if I knew 
     F                G              C      Am 
I'll be gone when the sun comes up tomorrow 
  F                    G               C 
I believe it's time to say good-bye to you 
       G                F               C 
And it sure smells like snow in Bossier City 
          D                                 G 
But there ain't no weather quite as cold as you 
    F            G                  C     Am 
I'd sooner stand in Mother Nature's anger 
        F             G                 C    F G C 
Than to spend another lonely night with you. 

    F           G                      C         F 
I'm talking but I'm feeling you're not listenin 
                   G                 C 
My words they just fall heavy on the floor 
    F              G        Am                        D 
Yes it's true that you knew, I would not stay forever 
                           G 
And you won't see me crying, when I walk out your door. 


G                F               C 
And it sure smells like snow in Bossier City 
          D                                 G 
But there ain't no weather quite as cold as you 
    F            G                  C     Am 
I'd sooner stand in Mother Nature's anger 
        F             G                 C    F G C 
Than to spend another lonely night with you.
