[Verse]
Am Gm7
Our conversation was short and sweet
Am Gm7
It nearly swept me off-a my feet.
F A#
And I'm back in the rain, oh
F A#
And you are on dry land,
Gm7
You made it there somehow
Am7 Gm7 C7/E F C/E
You're a big girl now.
[Verse]
Am Gm7
Bird on the horizon, sittin' on fence
Am Gm7
He's singin' his song for me at his own expense
F A#
And I'm just like that bird, oh,
F A#
Singin' just for you
Gm7
I hope that you can hear,
Am7 Gm7 C7/E F C/E
Hear me singin' through these tears.
[Verse]
Am Gm7
Time is a jet plane, it moves too fast
Am Gm7
Oh, but what a shame that all we've shared can't last.
F A#
I can change, I swear, oh
F A#
See what you can do
Gm7
I can make it through,
Am7 Gm7 C7/E F C/E
You can make it too.
[Verse]
Am Gm7
Love is so simple, to quote a phrase,
Am Gm7
You've known it all the time, I'm learnin' it these days .
F A#
Oh, I know where I can find you, oh,
F A#
In somebody's room.
Gm7
It's a price I have to pay
Am7 Gm7 C7/E F C/E
You're a big girl all the way.
[Verse]
Am Gm7
G change in the weather is known to be extreme
Am Gm7
But what's the sense in changing horses in midstream?
F A#
I'm going out of my mind, oh
F A#
With a pain that stops and starts,
Gm7
Like a corkscrew to my heart
Am7 Gm7 C7/E F C/E
Ever since we've been apart.
