Intro Chords:
C  Am  Em  F  Em  F  G  C  C7  F  G  C

   C              Am 
An empty house is hard to bear
Em                 F  
Lonesome's falling everywhere
    Em                              F 
Without you there's no light coming in
     F         G
That lucky dog jumped the fence
C                     C7
Ain't seen him around here since
    F               G          C
And I don't guess I ever will again
          Am                   Em
It didn't bother me any, I was good to that dog
              F                              G
And just like you I'm gonna have to learn to let him go
C       Am    Em       C7     F                 G        C
Leaving me was one thing Carla, why'd you have to leave so slow


Slow and shifty backing out
You were trying to fill my head with doubt
You nearly had me walking out on you
About the oldest trick to be
Playing on someone as old as me
That can not be the best that you can do
It didn't bother me any when he come around
I just wish I hadn't been the last guy in town to know
I didn't mind you walking away what hurt was how you walked so slow

                  Am  Em 
You know, you go


You know that was so underhanded
Grabbing him just as you landed
After holding me the whole time you fell
You tell me he'll be good to you
Who wouldn't be, what else is new
And now all that I can do is wish you well
It wouldn't have bothered me any, if you left me when you wanted to
But you just had to wait until you had some place better to go
I didn't mind you walking away, what hurt was how you walked so slow

Leaving me was one thing Carla why'd you have to leave so slow
