[Eb]
[Bb] [Eb]
[Cm] [Ab]
[Bb]
[Eb] On a warm summer day, [Gm] at [Eb] the hour of my youth, [Cm] I [Ab] walked the four miles to [Bb] your door.
[Eb] You wore a straw hat, [Bb] high [Gm] heels to [Eb] match, [Ab] and the whitest cotton dress I [Bb] ever saw.
[Eb] When I tried to hold you, you turned away.
[Ab] You don't have to tell me, [Abm] it's all over your face.
[Eb] I can see the writing [Fm] on the wall, [Eb] and there's a distance in your eyes that [Ab] says it all.
[Eb] [Ab] [Eb] Needed a weep, [D] [Eb] I can't get no sleep, cause I [Ab] know it won't change my [Bb] tomorrow.
[Eb] I'm sinking under, cause I don't want to lose you.
[Ab] This emptiness is more than [Bb] I can handle.
[Eb] You gave me no reason, but you gave me a ride.
[Ab] But the words to music, when I [Abm] was out of my mind.
[Eb] All I've got's the letters [Fm] that I keep,
[Eb] sometimes just before I go [Ab] to sleep.
[Eb] I read them and weep, you swept me off my feet.
Now I [Ab] know, that time's the [Bb] only healer.
[Eb] This jealousy hurts, the thought of seeing you with someone else, [Ab] cuts like a knife into [Bb] the heart of me.
[Eb] Life is a river, rich with sanitaries, [Ab] but I'll get over you babe.
[Abm] I'll live and I'll learn, [Eb] diapers full of January [Fm] sighs.
[Eb] I guess I won't be buying fairy [Ab] tales.
[Eb] Needed a weep, crying in my sleep, cause I [Ab] know I'm gonna be alone [Bb] tomorrow.
And [Eb] I walked the four miles, [Bb] yeah I [Eb] walked the four miles in [Ab] tears and [Bb] in sorrow.
[Eb] This was the story, here's where it ends.
[Ab] Next time I'll be wiser, won't [Abm] get let down again.
[Eb] I wanted you so badly, [Fm] but I failed.
[Eb] Now all I've got's these little [Ab] paper trails.
[Eb] I read them and weep, read them and [Ab] weep.
[Bb]
I [Eb] read them and weep, read them and weep.
[Ab]
[Bb]

[Abm]
[Eb] wanted you so badly, but [Fm] I failed.
[Eb] Now all I've got's these little [Ab] paper trails.
