As it hit me in the head, [C] cause it dawned on me, [G] [D] like the sun rising from sunny Tulsa,

[C] But when the time comes for us to [G] part, you start acting like I left you in the [D] dark.
I try to give you more love, but you turn it [C] away, [G] argue all over again.

[D] [Bm] [D] We have a [C] big old house where we both could [G] live, some dogs and cats and a couple of kids,
