Intro/Bridge: A(hammer the B string)
D7(h B string) E(h D string)
VERSE 1
A E
The money would be pretty good if a quart of milk was still a dollar
Bm A
Or even if a quart of milk was still a quart
D
And the hours well, I don't mind
A
How they creep on by like an old love of mine
Bm E A
Its the years that simply disappear that are doin' me in
D E A D
Guess I married too young, yeah 19 was just too young
Bm A
But sometimes you meet someone and your guts just burn
D E
Its not that I dont love him anymore
A D
Its just that when I hear him coming through that front door
Bm E A
My heart doesnt race like it did once before
CHORUS
D Dm A
Mmmmmm... But I got a horse out in the country
Bm E D A
ahhhh yea.. I get to see him every second Sunday
D Bm Dm A
He comes when I call him, Yeah he knows his name

Someday day I'll saddle up and the two of us will ride away

VERSE 2
A
This weather I could almost stand
E
If the sun would shine a little brighter
Bm A
Or even if the sun would shine at all
D E A D
But lately it just seems to me that this life has lost its mystery
Bm E A
and these cold fall mornings seem to bite just a little bit harder
Bm Dbm
And all my friends have settled down
Bm A
Become their mothers and fathers without a sound
E
Except for Cathy
D
She bought a one way
E
subway ticket
A
and left us all behind
CHORUS
INTRO/BRIDGE
LAST VERSE
A
This town wouldnt be so bad
E
If a girl could trust her instincts
Bm E A
Or even if a girl could trust a boy
