[Intro]

[Verse 1]
           E7                                                      A
As far as all my friends can tell, I took her leaving well, that's kinda right
       E7                                             A
'cause when I'm out with them, I don't let her memory rule the night
        D               E
For the most part, I'm OK
    D                E               A
But I still miss her in a round about way
 
 
[Chorus]
 E7                                 A
Around about the time that midnight rolls around
        E7                                  A
That's around about the time my tears start falling down
             B               D                    B
'cause she's not around... I come unwound... and my heart breaks
      E7                               A
Yeah, I still miss her in a round about way
 
 
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
      E7                                              A
I no longer sit alone for hours by the phone, wishing she would call
    E7                                               A
And just the other day, I took her smiling face down off my wall
     D                 E
I've come a long, long way
    D                E               A
But I still miss her in a round about way
 
 
[Chorus]
 E7                                 A
Around about the time that midnight rolls around
        E7                                  A
That's around about the time my tears start falling down
             B               D                    B
'cause she's not around... I come unwound... and my heart breaks
      E7                               A
Yeah, I still miss her in a round about way
      E7                               A
Yeah, I still miss her in a round about way

[Verse 1]
      E                                  A
Baby, all I got is this beat up leather bag
    E                               A
And everything I own don't fill up half
D
   But don't you worry 'bout the way I pack
A                                 E
All I care about is getting back real soon

A goodbye kiss is all I need from you

On a lonely highway stuck out in the rain
         E                             A
Darling, all I have to do is speak your name
    D
The clouds roll back and the waters part
    A                             E
The sun starts shining in my heart for you
                                   E7
You're right there in everything I do

[Verse 1]
       G                  C
I can see you're falling for her
             G                 D7
Friend, you know she once was mine
     Em     C          G       C
So I guess I ought to warn you
                G    D7        G    D7
'cause you're showing all the signs
 
 
[Chorus]
         G               C
She's a devil, she's an angel
         G               D7
She's a woman, she's a child
         Em      C          G         C
She's a heartache when she leaves you
            G       D7        G   C
But she'll leave you with a smile
 
G    D7
 
 
[Verse 2]
          G               C
When she held me, it was heaven
        G                D7
It was worth the losing pain
               Em   C                 G       C
And when she's gone, she'll leave you wishing
           G   D7          G   D7
She'd just roll your way again
 
 
[Chorus]
         G               C
She's a devil, she's an angel
         G               D7
She's a woman, she's a child
         Em      C          G         C
She's a heartache when she leaves you
            G       D7        G   D7
But she'll leave you with a smile
 
 
[Outro Chorus]
               G                               C
Yeah, she's a devil, (she's a devil) she's an angel (she's an angel)
         G               D7
She's a woman, she's a child
         Em      C          G         C
She's a heartache when she leaves you

[Intro]
D  A7  D
 
 
[Verse 1]
      D
Well, I was out a-drinking with a couple of friends of mine
                                                           A7
When the bartender handed me the telephone, said "There's a wife on the line"
  D
I told her I was just a-drinking with a couple of buddies I knew
                                             A7                   D
Well, she told me in a few short words just what she wanted me to do
 
 
[Chorus]
                          D
She said, "Won't you come home and talk to a stranger?
                                 A7
You might even make yourself a friend."
                          D
She said, "Won't you come home and talk to a stranger?
                       A7                D

Well, I sat there about an hour, talking with the rest of the guys
                                                  A7
When she walked through that front door, she had "get home" in her eyes
    D
She said, "You've danced and talked with every woman in town but me
                                                   A7            D
And if you'd just come around the house, you might like my company."
 
 
[Chorus]
                          D
She said, "Won't you come home and talk to a stranger?
                                 A7
You might even make yourself a friend."
                          D
She said, "Won't you come home and talk to a stranger?
                       A7                D
It's the only place in days you haven't been."
                          D
She said, "Won't you come home and talk to a stranger?
                                 A7
You might even make yourself a friend."
                          D
She said, "Won't you come home and talk to a stranger?

   We made it final today
C                            F
   I gave you all I had, you made your getaway
Dm                      G
   All the love we once made

   Turned to memories today
C                                F
   I left the courtroom and went straight to church
C                             F                Em
   I hit my knees and told God how much I hurt

   There's nothing left of my heart

It's gonna be so hard to make a new start

'cause today, my world slipped away

We buried the plans that we made
G7     C           Em       F
And tonight, I'm alone and afraid
 Em       Dm     G7           C     F
'cause today, my world slipped away
 
 
[Verse 2]

   All my friends say I'll make it alright

   I'll recover and start a new life

   But that'll be so hard to do
       Dm                                F
'cause living ain't worth living without you
 
 
[Chorus]

'cause today, my world slipped away
    C           Em        F
We buried the plans that we made
G7     C           Em       F
And tonight, I'm alone and afraid

E7    A
 
 
[Verse 1]
      A
Well, my baby's wearing a permanent smile 
  D
A satisfied look I ain't seen for a while
  E
I ain't had no raise or fulfilled any dreams
                             E7
But something's come over my baby, it seems
 
 
[Chorus]
     A                                           D
I've got a funny feeling, somebody's stealing my honey
E                                                                             A
Lord, I love that child, love to see her smile, but these circumstances ain't funny
                                           D
Where lies a danger, is he a stranger or a pal?
     E                   E7                      A
I've got a funny feeling, somebody's stealing my gal
 
 
[Verse 2]
   A
If I came home early, Lord, what would I find?
D
Maybe I'd rather just walk around blind
  E
I know baby loves me, Lord, I understand 
                       E7
I know how emotions can get out of hand
 
 
[Chorus]
     A                                           D
I've got a funny feeling, somebody's stealing my honey
E                                                                             A
Lord, I love that child, love to see her smile, but these circumstances ain't funny
                                           D
Where lies a danger, is he a stranger or a pal?
     E                   E7                      A
I've got a funny feeling, somebody's stealing my gal

Wherever he is, well, I'm calling his bluff
    D
I'm gonna start wearing that good-smelling stuff
    E
And I'll be the lover that I used to be 
                              E7
Whatever she's missing, she'll get it from me
 
 
[Chorus]
     A                                           D
I've got a funny feeling, somebody's stealing my honey
E                                                                             A
Lord, I love that child, love to see her smile, but these circumstances ain't funny
                                           D
Where lies a danger, is he a stranger or a pal?
     E                   E7                      A
I've got a funny feeling, somebody's stealing my gal
     E                   E7                     A
I've got a funny feeling, somebody's stealing my gal

[Intro]
E
 
 
[Verse 1]
    E
I'm glad I had the nerve to talk to you that day
A               E           B           G#m
I could just as easily have let you get away
E               A  E     C#m      B      A
In that crowded airport, far from my hometown
                 E                 C#m      B   A
If I had lost my courage then, you wouldn't be around
    B              E
I'm glad I had the nerve
 
 
[Verse 2]
        E
And I'm glad he had the nerve to get down on his knees
    A                   E             B                  G#m
And say, "I bought this ring for you. Won't you wear it, please?"
   E                  A   E           C#m    B         A
My daddy sure touched something in my mama's heart somehow
              E               C#m     B        A
If he hadn't, I sure wouldn't be here with you now
    B               E     A E
I'm glad he had the nerve
 
 
[Chorus]
                      A                   G#m
Or I never would have lived like this, or learned like this
   F#m                   B
Or laughed like this, or loved like this
 
 
[Verse 3]
    E
I'm glad he had the nerve to sail across the sea
   A                 E                B               G#m
My great-grandaddy's great-grandpa in eighteen thirty-three
   E             A  E          C#m   B        A
He met an Indian maiden in the Smoky Mountain mist
               E                  C#m     B     A
If they hadn't crossed that line, I would not exist
    B                 E
I'm glad they had the nerve
 
 
[Verse 4]
        E
And I'm glad He had the nerve while staring into space
   A            E       B          G#m
To give this universe a time and a place
E             A E        C#m  B      A
With one tiny atom or an Adam and an Eve
                 E          C#m  B     A
However you look at it, whatever you believe
    B               E     A E
I'm glad He had the nerve
 
 
[Chorus]
                       A                   G#m
Or we never would have lived like this, or learned like this
   F#m                   B
Or laughed like this, or loved like this
                     E
Thank God He had the nerve
 
 
[Outro]
        E                                   A     E
And I'm glad I had the nerve to talk to you that day

[Verse 1]
E                          B7
Picture a fellow with his boots shined up
                           E
A new coat of clean on his pickup truck
                         B7
Ringing your doorbell, thinking about love
                    E
Hey, honey, that's me
 
 
[Chorus]
A                   E
   That's me with a capital M
A              E
   That's me, ten times ten
A                       E
   I ain't worked up my courage yet
                    B7        E
But that's me every chance I get
 
 
[Verse 2]
E                      B7
Picture a fellow at a picture show
                          E
His arm around you in the very last row
                       B7
Stealing a kiss as the credits roll
                     E
Yeah, honey, that's me
 
 
[Chorus]
A                   E
   That's me with a capital M
A              E
   That's me, ten times ten
A                       E
   I ain't worked up my courage yet

But that's me every chance I get (Ah, play it boys)

   I'll be your fella in nothing flat
A                        B7
   Honey, just picture that

[Intro]
D
G
 
 
[Verse 1]
      D                                G
Still reeling from a relationship that left me torn in two
D                                   G
Trying to find that first step that leads to someone new
A                   D            G             F#m    Em
Getting me back together, didn't know it could be so hard
                        F#m              G
But if I'm ever gonna mend this broken heart
                A                    D
You look like a real good place to start
 
 
[Chorus]
Bm             G
I need a new beginning
    A                    D
And girl, you fit right in
Bm                 G
Sometimes, a new beginning
   Em                 A
Is found in an old friend
    Em              F#m              G
If I'm ever gonna mend this broken heart
                A                    D
You look like a real good place to start
 
 
[Verse 2]
D                                         G
There've been times when you and him just couldn't get along
D                                                G
   I'd hear your knock, then let you in, be your shoulder to cry on
    A                      D         G        F#m    Em
And now, he's finally left you and I find you in my arms
                    F#m              G
If I'm ever gonna mend this broken heart
                A                    D
You look like a real good place to start
 
 
[Chorus]
Bm             G
I need a new beginning
    A                    D
And girl, you fit right in
Bm                 G
Sometimes, a new beginning
   Em                 A
Is found in an old friend
    Em              F#m              G
If I'm ever gonna mend this broken heart
                A                    D
You look like a real good place to start
 
 
[Outro Chorus]
    Em              F#m              G
If I'm ever gonna mend this broken heart
                A                    D
You look like a real good place to start
