Capo 3
E A
You'd think that I had the guts to leave you
B7 E
A man like me can't stand to sit around
E A7
When I met you I swore that you were freedom
B7 E
But the strings you've tied they've chained me to the ground
Chorus:
A E
But I can't leave you even though I want to
B E
There's something about you makes me stay
A E
No I can't leave you, believe me I've tried to
B E
So I wake up just a hating everyday
E A
Well I promised you that I'd write you a love song
B E
It'd be something to bring teardrops to your eyes
E A
So far I'm the only one that's crying
B E
Writing about this crazy love that died
Chorus
I promised you that I'd write you a love song
It'd be something to bring teardrops to your eyes
So far I'm the only one that's crying
Writing about this crazy love that died
Chorus 2:
'Cuz I can't leave you even though I want to
There's just something about you sweetheart that makes me stay
No I can't leave you, believe me I've tried to
So I wake up just a hating every single day
Chorus 3:
That I stay here by my own will
'Cuz I figure darlin' that's what real men do
Gotta grin and bare it, don't ever share it
They just play guitar and mow the yard and have a drink
