G

Woke up this morning my house was cold

D

Checked out the furnace she wasn't burnin'

Em7

Went out and hoped in my old Ford

D

Hit the engine but she ain't turnin'

 G

We're given each other some hard lessons lately

D

But we ain't learnin'

    Em7            D              G

We're the same sad story that's a fact

          A7                G              D           Em7         D

G

Bird on a wire outside my motel room

D

But he ain't singin'

Em7

Girl in white outside a church in June

D

But the church bells they ain't ringing

G

I'm sitting here in this bar tonight

D

But all I'm thinkin' is

       Em7         D             G

I'm the same old story same old act

          A7               G

G

It's the same thing night on night

D

Who's wrong baby who's right

Em7

Another fight and I slam the door on

D

Another battle in our dirty little war

G

When I look at myself I don't see

D

The man I wanted to be

E7                   D                 G

Somewhere along the line I slipped off track

                            A7               G

I'm caught movin' one step up and two steps back

G

There's a girl across the bar

D

I get the message she's sending

Em7

Mmm she ain't lookin' to married

D

And me well honey I'm pretending

G

Last night I dreamed I held you in my arms

D

The music was never-ending

Em7                        D           G

We danced as the evening sky faded to black

          A7                G
