E A
Green velvet and valley shoes
E A
Your sharpshooter eyes have gone aimless
E
You want me when you danced my way
A
And now you choose to lose
F#m B
Don't look at me 'cause I'm blameless
E A
White dresses and a message from home
E A
Crazy smile has unraveled
E
You love to dance the night away
A
And I'd be home alone
F#m B
Don't worry 'bout that I'm well-traveled
D6 E
You thought I taught you all I know
D6 E
I told you about givin'
C#m Bm
They say that people live and learn

But baby you're just livin'
E B A F#m E
E A
Faded denim and broken dreams
E A
The stage door hands are now empty
E
I helped you step out
A
When friends were far-between
F#m B
I wouldn't come back if you let me
E A
Buried feelings and borrowed times
E A
Your big city plans are all shattered
E
When music ends, the dancing's done
A
Were you ever mine?
F#m B
What makes you think that it mattered?
D6 E
You thought I taught you all I know

I told you about givin'

F D7
Rollin and tumblin we carried it so far I don't see a end in sight

It's not an illusion it's not an intrusion
D7
A dream I once held so tight
G7 D7
Can't you hear my cry in the night when there's nobody there
G7 A G
Do you really believe that there's nobody left who really cares
F D7
Carried it along just a little further leave all suspicion behind
F
Before you get swept into a situation
D7
The both of us can hardly define
G7 D7
The lines in your face telling such a sad sad story
G7 A G A D C A C D
You know what a crime it is to be sad and lonely
F D F D F D F D

Old love letters hidden from no-one memories fading fast

Words with no meaning I've got you believing everythings gonna last

I just can't change the part of me you never even seen
