[F] [Cm7] [F] [Cm7]
I was in[F] love with you oh b[Ebsus2]efore I knew
Bb Bb_
It meant more than just wanting to be with you
Fsus2 G7 Run
I used to look for other girls that looked like you
But the[F] laws of nature said fo[Ebsus2]rget it son
[Bb]Least that's what somebody [Bb]told me
Fsus2 G7 Run
I worried about it a little bit, but that's all
I dreamt that you we Joan of Arc
and I was Don Quixote
And everywhere we went the world was tinfoil
But I gave up dreaming and became a priest
It put it right out of my system
I worried about it a little bit, but that's all
Chorus:
Now you[Dm] used to play the[C] guitar
We[Dm] worked[C] in a[Bb] country[Gm] band
We[Dm] hung out down on the[C] river bank on[Gm] Sun--[C]-Days[Gm7] [C]
Your[Bb] brother was my[F] closest friend
He[Gm7] drove a pickup[Fmaj7] truck
He[Bb] used to bring me[F] home sometimes from[C] hig[C]hschool[Gm7] [C]
Now I was fifteen oh the very first time
Love broke completely inside me
We were young and we were learning about it together
And we had enough of what we thought we'd need of those
Well known secret fables
We worried about it a little bit, but that's all
I regret that life won't be long enough
To make love to all the women that I'd like to
Or least of all to live with the ones I've loved
But I've never regretted a love affair
Except one but that's all over
I worried about it a little bit, but that's all
Now I heard you lived way up north
Your kids are fat and plenty
And I haven't seen you brother since way last Easter
And if every other girl in the whole wide world
Was just a little bit more like you
I'd worry about it a little bit, but that's all
