[Verse]
Em Dm7
Our conversation was short and sweet
Em Dm7
It nearly swept me off-a my feet.
C F
And I'm back in the rain, oh
C F
And you are on dry land,
Dm7
You made it there somehow
Em7 Dm7 G7/B C G/B
You're a big girl now.
[Verse]
Em Dm7
Bird on the horizon, sittin' on fence
Em Dm7
He's singin' his song for me at his own expense
C F
And I'm just like that bird, oh,
C F
Singin' just for you
Dm7
I hope that you can hear,
Em7 Dm7 G7/B C G/B
Hear me singin' through these tears.
[Verse]
Em Dm7
Time is a jet plane, it moves too fast
Em Dm7
Oh, but what a shame that all we've shared can't last.
C F
I can change, I swear, oh
C F
See what you can do
Dm7
I can make it through,
Em7 Dm7 G7/B C G/B
You can make it too.
[Verse]
Em Dm7
Love is so simple, to quote a phrase,
Em Dm7
You've known it all the time, I'm learnin' it these days .
C F
Oh, I know where I can find you, oh,
C F
In somebody's room.
Dm7
It's a price I have to pay
Em7 Dm7 G7/B C G/B
You're a big girl all the way.
[Verse]
Em Dm7
D change in the weather is known to be extreme
Em Dm7
But what's the sense in changing horses in midstream?
C F
I'm going out of my mind, oh
C F
With a pain that stops and starts,
Dm7
Like a corkscrew to my heart
Em7 Dm7 G7/B C G/B
Ever since we've been apart.
