Without You ( by Jerry Short )

Don't beat me up too bad , I
know I submitted this incorrectly .( My computer geek hasn't gotten around to helping me yet......)
   This song came off the cuff one afternoon when my bro. called and asked me to write a song so we would have something new to work on that evening . This is what came out.........
I do it with a bright tempo .

   ( Without You )

             ( Am )
When you told me you were

leavin
  ( C )
I guess I stopped believin
      ( G )
In a love that I always

thought was true
( Am )
After all this time ,
  ( C )
I just quit wonderin why ,
   ( G )
I thought that it was me ,

but it was you .......
        ( Am )                 ( G )
And I finally ......decided what

to do ...........

( Chorus )
          ( C )
I'll just crack another beer ,
     ( Am )
and I won't shed a tear ,
   ( G )
remembering this love I

thought we knew......
         ( C )
Cause when I stopped

believin ,
       ( Am )
And I knew I'd come out even
  ( G )
I knew that I was better off
                                 
without you..........
( Am )                ( G )
without you.........

( verse 2 )

     ( Am )
It's taken me a while ,
   ( C )
to realize I could smile ,
      ( G )
and live my life not feelin blue
     ( Am )
And I am not afraid ,
   ( C )
of pullin down the shade ,
          ( G )
on that life I always thought

I'd have with you .....
              ( Am )            ( G )
and live without you .....
   ( Am )           ( G )
without you......

( Repeat Chorus and End )
