(E) Four jobs - (B7) 2 years
(A) Too many late nights - (E) Too many tears
(A) But, she keeps giving me (B7) second chances (E) (A) (B7)
(E) Once I had a (B7) dream I chased
(A) Whatever it was, I (E) guess it escaped
Still, (A) I'm the only one she wants to (B7) dance with
If she was (A) lookin' for leavin' (E) reasons
She (B7) wouldn't have to look too (E) far
All the (A) tears she's cried
Would more than (E) justify
(B7) Throwing away my heart
(A) God only knows why she (E) does it
But, she keeps hangin' (A) on
If she was lookin' for leavin' (E) reasons
(B7) She'd be (E) gone
(A) (B7) (E) (A) (B7)
(E) Some nights (B7) I lie awake
(A) Wondering just how (E) much she'll take
(A) Before she (B7) quietly walks a(E)way (A) (B7)
(E) Sometimes I fail her - (B7) But, to my surprise
(A) She fails to (E) criticize
(A) Lord, she must be in this love to (B7) stay
Repeat Chorus
If she was lookin' for leavin' (E) reasons
(B7) She'd be (E) gone
