I use to think that love was 
A                         D 
Something meant to tie me down 
D 
All I ever wanted was 
  A                  D  
A guitar and another town 
G 
Ten years disappear so fast 
            D                              G 
When you're strung out out on the highwire lines 
          D 
I've been thinking about leaving 
A                        D 
Long enough to change my mind 
 
I lie here in your  bed 
         A                         D 
Watching raindrops  on your window pane 
D 
Sometimes I get to feeling like 
      A                  D 
Ain't nothing ever gonna change

Long enough to change my mind

Sometimes I miss the bright lights 
     D 
Sometimes I miss the crowd 
     G 
Sometimes I miss the woman 
     D              A 
Sometimes the music loud 
     G 
Sometimes I miss that world out there 
   D               G 
So cold hard and unkind 
           D 
I've been thinking about leaving 
A                        D 
Long enough to change my mind

     D 
Sometimes I miss the noise 
     G 
Sometimes I miss the woman 
     D                  A 
Sometimes the good old boys 
     G 
Sometimes I miss that world out there 
   D               G 
So cold hard and unkind 
           D 
I've been thinking about leaving 
A                        D 
Long enough to change my mind
