C G
And I ain't had no liquor on my breath
G Bm
Ain't no kind of secret I've been known to take a drink
C D
And it's made me do some things that I regret
C G
Loretta said this ain't no kind of way to raise a family
C D
And one night she called it quits and called a cab
C G
She left the clothes out on the clothes line and the dishes in the sink
C D
So I guess she knows that she ain't comin' back

Now lately she's been knowing this ol' boy she met in church

C D
The night I knocked a hole in her front door
C G
And Loretta took my keys and she made me wait outside
C D
But she didn't call the law she called a cab
C G
And as I pulled away I saw somethin' in her eyes
C D
So I reckon that she knows I ain't so bad
[Chorus]
G Bm
But I just wanna see my kids, I just wanna hold my girls
C D
Heaven knows I ain't got much of nothin' else in this whole world

I just wanna be around enough to know that they've been loved

and I loved him and he loved me.
G A
And lord, I cried the day he died,

'cause I thought that he walked on water.

G Bm
If I told you that I realized you're all I ever wanted
C D G
And it's killing me to be so far away.
C G D/F# Em Bm
Would you tell me that you loved me too and would we cry together?
A7 D
Or would you simply laugh at me and say:
[Chorus]
G Bm C
"I told you so, oh I told you so.
Am D
I told you someday you would come crawling back
G D
and asking me to take you in
G Bm C
I told you so, but you had to go,
Am D G
Now I found somebody new and you will never break my heart in two again."
[Verse]

If I got down on my knees
Bm
And told you I was yours forever
C D G
Would you get down on yours too and take my hand ?
C
Would we get that old-time feeling
G D/F# Em Bm
Would we laugh and talk for hours
A7 D
The way we did when our love first began
G
Would you tell me that you've missed me too
Bm
And that you've been so lonely
C D G
And you've waited for the day that I returned
C
And we'd live and love forever
G D/F# Em Bm
And that I'm your one and only

Or would you say the tables finally turned
And would you say
[Chorus]

I told you someday you would come crawling back
G D
and asking me to take you in

[Verse 1]
C
I remember how it used to feel
F G
Riding down old two mile hill
C
Tennis shoes up on the handle bars
F G
Paying no mind to the passing cars
Em Am F Am G
No doubts, no fears, just like when you are here
[Chorus]
C Am F G
No chains, no strings, no fences, no wall
C Am F G
No net, just you to catch me when I fall
F G C
Look heart, no hands.
[Verse 2]
C
It took a little time to get up to speed
F G
To find the confidence and strength I need
C
To just let go and reach for the sky
F G
You know sometimes it felt I could fly.
Em Am F Am G
No doubts, no fears, just like when you are here.
[Chorus]
C Am F G
No chains, no strings, no fences, no wall
C Am F G
No net, just you to catch me when I fall
F G C
Look heart, no hands.
[Bridge]
F G C
It doesn't take much, just a smile or a touch
Em Am F C G
And I'm a kid again, I can almost feel that wind
[Chorus]
C Am F G
No chains, no strings, no fences, no wall
C Am F G
No net, just you to catch me when I fall
F G C
Look heart, no hands.1982

[Verse 1]
A D
Operator please connect me with nineteen eighty two
E D E A E
I need to make apologies for what I didn't do
A Bm D
I sure do need to tell her that I've thought the whole thing through
E A
And now it's clear that she is what I should have held on to
[Chorus]
E A D A
They say hindsight's twenty twenty, but I'm nearly going blind
B7 E
From staring at her photograph and wishing she was mine
A D Bm
It's that same ole lost love story, it's sad, but it's true
E A
There was a time when she was mine in nineteen eighty two
[Verse 2]
A D
Postman can you sell me a special kind of stamp
E D E A E
One to send a letter from this crazy, lonely man
A D Bm
Back into the wasted years of my living past
E A
I need to tell her now I know how long my love will last
[Chorus]
E A D A
They say hindsight's twenty twenty, but I'm nearly going blind
B7 E
From staring at her photograph and wishing she was mine

There was a time when she was mine in nineteen eighty two

Capo: 3rd fret
[Intro]
D G x4
[Verse 1]
D G D G
Well I've heard those city singers singin about how they can love
D G D G
Deeper than the oceans higher than the stars above
D G D G
well I come from the country and I know I ain't seen it all
D G Dsus4 D/A
But I heard that oceans salty and the stars they sometimes fall
Em Bm G
But that would not do justice to the way I feel for you
D Em G A
So I have to sing this song about all the things I knew
[Chorus]
D G D G
My love is deeper than the holler, stronger than the rivers
Bm G Em A
Higher than the pine trees growin' tall upon the hill
D G D A Bm
My love is purer than the snowflakes that fall in late December
Em D G
And honest as a robin on a springtime window sill
Em A D
And longer than the song of the Whippoorwill
[Verse 2]
D G D G
From the backroads to the broadway shows with a million miles between
D G D G
There's a least a million love songs that people love to sing
Em Bm
And everyone is different and everyone's the same
G D Em A
so this is just another way of sayin the same thing
[Chorus]
D G D G
My love is deeper than the holler, stronger than the rivers
Bm G Em A
Higher than the pine trees growin? tall upon the hill
D G D A Bm
My love is purer than the snowflakes that fall in late December
Em D G
And honest as a robin on a springtime window sill
Em A D
And longer than the song of the Whippoorwill
