Intro
A#
Verse 1
A# D# A#
I'm so tired of hearing tales of coming news
Gm D# A#
Telling tales of a changing sky
A# D# A#
It's just a shame that I didn't notice you
Gm D# A#
Till someone I loved had to die
A# D# A#
What made us think that this was so different
Gm D# A#
Who is driving behind those things you say
A# D# A#
Why do you insult me and my friends
Gm D# A#
Who are my friends anyway
A# D# A#
I've spent my life lying now I pay the price
Gm D# D# A#
Are these really words of a young man or a worthless human life
A# D# A#
I don't mean to scare you with the things I say
Gm D# A#
I take it back, yes it's a beautiful day
A# D# A#
I watched you from the beach when your ship sailed
Gm D# A#
You made it clear that nothing stays the same
A# D# A#
It's getting darker I wonder if you could tell
Gm D# A#
I wonder when did all that change

Verse 2
A# D# A#
You never used to let me go un---
Gm D# D# A#
I was so distracted I never saw the rain
A# D# A#
You promised you meant every word you said
Gm D# A#
I wonder when did all that change
A# D# A#
It hurts so bad to hear such pretty words
Gm D# A#
coming from somebody like you
A# D# A#
I've been looking for so long that I've lost touch
Gm D# A#
With what's the best something to do
A# D# A#
I've got a friend who makes good choices
Gm D# A#
Everyone likes the way that he sees things
A# D# A#
I've got a problem and it walks me daily
Gm D# A#
Can't you see no one's proud of me
A# D# A#
It's a long road alone and I'm not proving
Gm D# A#
Anything going by myself
A# D# A#
When your love light is on and really moving
Gm D# A#
Oh sugar girl I do appreciate the help
Riff

Verse 3
A# D# A#
I had my fun with money gold and diamonds
Gm D# A#
Thought went sour before they got to me
A# D# A#
I'll be waiting girl but don't go counting hours
Gm D# A#
I'm not waiting for any of the three
A# D# A#
I was just a peasant from the highlands
Gm D# A#
She said don't you call me your mountain girl
A# D# A#
I said don't bother me I'm trying to write and
Gm D# A#
don't worry you ain't my mountain girl
A# D# A#
I can call you but I'd probably make you cry
Gm D# A#
These days it's what you often times do
A# D# A#
Call the preacher then go call your father
Gm D# A#
Tell them that the wedding plans have moved
A# D# A#
I sent a message, said I'd be gone forever
Gm D# A#
The letter of reply never came
A# D# A#
She said that she'd be true but I wouldn't let her
Gm D# A#
I wonder when did all that change
Riff

Verse 4
A# D# A#
Hell has no fury like a woman
Gm D# A#
Happy scorned or otherwise
A# D# A#
You can do what you want to with your name
Gm D# A#
But you can bet I'm changing mine
A# D# A#
Well I'd give a hundred dollars to get a letter
Gm D# A#
If at the bottom it said I miss you bad
A# D# A#
See but the truth of the matter is no one back home really misses me
Gm D# A#
You see how I talk when I'm sad
A# D# A#
Since I was young I've known a lot of women
Gm A# D#
who said they'd give their love to me...
