A D A
I didn't have to climb a water tower
E A
And paint your name in cherry bomb red
D A
Or pick all of the neighbor's fl owers
E A
I coulda' sent a card in stead, but
Bm D
I had to do it big enough
Bm Esus E
To let you know I'm seri ous
[Chorus
D A
Well I could
D A
Have turned
D A E A
A round and run a way, but
D A
I knew
D A
I'd need
D A E A
My heart some day
[Verse]
A D A
I didn't have to take desperate measures
E A
To make my in tentions plain
D A
I coulda' waited for better weather
E A
Instead of standin' in the pourin' rain
Bm D Bm Esus E
Singin' "I will al ways love you" and "Sweet Home Ala bama"
[Chorus]
D A
Well I could
D A
Have turned
D A E A
A round and run a way, but
D A
I knew
D A
I'd need
D A E A
My heart some day
[Bridge]
Bm D
Baby with out your lovin'
A
My life would mean nothin'
Bm
And my heart would just be somethin'
D E
I left with you
[Chorus/Outro]
D A
Well I could
D A
Have turned
D A E A
A round and run a way, but
D A
I knew
D A
I'd need
D A E A
My heart some day
D A
Well I could
D A
Have turned
D A E A
A round and run a way, but
D A
I knew
D A
I'd need
D A E A
My heart some day
