C 
I ran into an old friend of mine the other day 
G7                                   C 
We hadn't seen each other in quite a while 
C 
And what he had to say hit me pretty hard 
G7                                            C 
Cause I think a lot of folks get started this way 

                                       G7                C 
He said I thought it would be so easy  another one night stand 
                                G7                      C 
She seemed so warm and willing  right in the palm of my hand 
                                         G7                     C 
Now its three months ago last Wednesday  since I woke up in her bed 
                                G7                C 
Lord I think I love her  but it scares me half to death 

          F                   C 
Cause you know I'm a rake and rambling man 
F                 C          F                  C           F 
Free as and eagle flies well look at me now and tell me the truth 
C                F        C 
Do I look like a daddy to you  
                    F        C 
Oh do I look like a daddy to you 

C 
Now she's feeling sick in the morning 
G7                     C 
She can't get into her jeans 

I spent my last ten dollars  
G7                           C 
And bought her a second hand ring 


I start to work next Monday 
G7                         C 
Cause I just can't let her down 

I've had me some good times 
G7                      C 
But that's all changing now 

Repeat #3  x2
