it feels a little stiff.
We just read the second page
in the contract,
D 
G 
which says, if you say that word,
D 
you're liable  to 10 ,000
G 
and or two years in jail.

Well, she didn't look as pretty
C 
G 
As some others I have known
She wasn't good at conversation
D 
When we were alone
C 
D 
But she had a way of making me
G 
Em 
believe that I belong
C 
D 
And it felt like coming home
G 
When I found
Cause she seemed to be so proud of me
C 
G 
just walkin' holdin' hands
She didn't think that money
D 
was the measure of a man
C 
D 
And we seemed to fit together
G 
Em 
when I held her in my arm s
C 
And it left me feeling warm
D

when I loved her
C 
Cause she brightened up the day
D

like the early morning sun

D 
G 
A 
when I loved her
I know some of us were born
D 
A 
to cast our fortune to the winds
And I guess I'm bound to travel
E 
down a road that never ends
D 
E 
But I know I'll never look upon
A 
F#m 
the likes of her again
D 
E 
A 
And I'll never understand why I lost her
D 
Cause she brightened up the day
E 
A 
F#m 
like the early morning sun
D 
E 
She made what I was doin'
