I CAN'T IMAGINE LAYIN' DOWN (WITH ANYONE BUT YOU) -- Oak Ridge Boys
Album: Together (1980)
Writer: Don Schlitz

    My CD re-issue of the Together album has this song pitched
    right in between E and F. Since there are strings behind it,
    it's a fair bet that it was actually in E.


INTRO:  E   A  (4 times)

VERSE 1:
       E              A             B               E
  It's all that I can do to make it through another day--
      E               C#min            F#              B
  The minutes seem to creep along, the time gets in my way.
 A                                  A#dim         B
  But when my work is done, and the day is almost through,
 A                E                B     (B7) E    A   E   A
  I can't imagine layin' down with anyone but you.


VERSE 2:
    E                  A            B            E
  I don't believe that I can move a mountain any more,
     E                 C#min              F#               B
  Ex-cept for when you dim the lights and lock the bedroom door---
 A                          A#dim           B
  Then I'll do anything you say you want me to,
        A             E                B     (B7) E
  But I can't imagine layin' down with anyone but you.


BRIDGE:
      C#min                          A                   E
  And ev'ry time you touch me, I can feel the very first time.
      C#min                      F#             B    (B7)
  And when you hold my body, you surely hold my mind.


VERSE 3:
      E                 A                 B                  E
  The night-time is for dreamin', and pre-tendin' dreams are real,
      E                           C#min          F#              B
  But there's no dream that could ever touch the way you make me feel,
 A                                A#dim              B    G#
  Darlin', when I'm in your arms, all my dreams come true,
        A             E                B     (B7) E
  And I can't imagine layin' down with anyone but you.


TAG:
        A             E                B      NC  E
  No, I can't imagine layin' down with anyone but you.
