C         F          C 
 Met her halfway to Birmingham 
F                     
 Leaving middle Tennessee 
C        F                C 
 Made a speech to say inside my head 
F                         
 Swore that I’d say everything 

Am        G    F                    
    I’ve been giving you my life 
Am        G       F          
     I’m always on time 
Am          G         F          
     Four years are enough to decide 
(F) 
      Whether I’m your kind 

(F)             Em              Dm 
     I’ve been thinkin bout the country 
F             Em         Dm 
     Thinkin bout you and me 
F              Em           Dm 
     I’ve been thinkin where I do belong 
    C      F            C 
And why you belong with me 

C         F              C 
 In frustration she had bowed her head 
F 
 And I could hardly breathe 
C      F            C 
 Reminisced on the times we had 
F 
 But said that she would have to leave 

            Am          G            F    
Yeah, it’s hard, it's hard to walk away from you 
Am             G           F    
     We don’t live at the same speed 
Am                 G              F    
     You're gonna make somebody happy 
(F) 
    But that someone ain’t me 

(F)                     Em               Dm 
     Cause when you’re thinkin bout the country 
F                  Em            Dm 
     You’re just trying to be with me 
F             Em         Dm 
     Seasons change the way that we are 
C        F      C 
 Spring changed me 



C         F          C 
 Met her halfway to Birmingham 
F                     
 Leaving middle Tennessee 
C        F                C 
 Made a speech to say inside my head 
F                                           C 
 Swore that I’d say everything to keep you here.
