Key of A

Intro

(A) I didn't have to climb a (D) water (A) tower
And paint your name in (E) cherry bomb (A) red
Or pick all of the (D) neighbor's fl(A)owers
I coulda' sent a (E) card in(A)stead, but
(Bm) I had to do it (D) big enough
(Bm) To let you know I'm (Esus) seri(E)ous

Well (D) I (A) could
(D) Have (A) turned
(D) A(A)round and (E) run a(A)way, but
(D) I (A) knew
(D) I'd (A) need
(D) My (A) heart (E) some(A)day

Repeat Intro

(A) I didn't have to take (D) desperate (A) measures
To make my in(E)tentions (A) plain
I coulda' waited for (D) better (A) weather
Instead of standin' in the (E) pourin' (A) rain
(Bm) Singin' "I will al(D)ways love you" and (Bm) "Sweet Home (Esus) Ala(E)bama"

Well (D) I (A) could
(D) Have (A) turned
(D) A(A)round and (E) run a(A)way, but
(D) I (A) knew
(D) I'd (A) need
(D) My (A) heart (E) some(A)day

(Bm) Baby with(D)out your lovin'
(A) My life would mean nothin'
And (Bm) my heart would just be somethin'
(D) I left (E) with you
