**************************************************************


C                                   G
I just come into this bar to have a quick one,
                                   C
And mayube give the bowling game a whirl.
                                      F
Well you sat down next to me and in a minute I  could see,
G                          C
Your a complicated kind of girl.

C                                    G
You say there's someone home waiting for you,
                                     C
But you don't really care much if he cares.
                                 F
If your prayin for a chance at a really big romance,
  G                                  C
I don't think I'm the answer to your prayer.

Chorus
                                        G
Cause I've got all the heartaches I can handle back at home,
                                     C
I got all the pain and suffrin I can use.
                                        F
While I thank you for your gracious invitation,
     G                                 C
I'll call you when I'm runnin short of blues.

C                                          G
It's true that you might love me more than she does,
                                      C
And we might be a whole lot more than friends.
                                         F
But I might start to love you as much as he does,
    G                         C
And you'd be out lookin once again.


I've been traveling down loves rocky road along time,
And I guess that I should know a danger sign.
So you stay here and try to drown your troubles,
And I think I'll go walking home to mine.

Sing Chorus
