House Across The Bay 
Tom: Em
Intro:  |(Em) |(A) |(D) |(D) |
(Em)Walkin' down this lonely stretch of beach, she and I walked (D)down a thousand times
I (Em)just can force myself to give her up like all the things (D) she left behind
(Em)Gone are the days, when I'd wake up with her warm bod-(A)y next to mine
(Chorus)
(G) It gets cold here (A)in the winter time
(D) And my mind drifts away (G) to that house across the bay (Em) (A)
(G) A long talk and a (A)glass of wine (D) and we'd love the night away (G)
But that was yesterday (Em) (A) in that house across the (D)bay
Inst.:  --- |(Em) |(A) |(D) 
Her (Em)laughter was contagious, her walk, her talk, her smile lit up (D) every room
They say things (Em)happen for a reason, but I can't find one good reason, why 
she's (D) gone so soon
(Em)Life just seems to hang on every thought and everything (Em/F#) we (A)used to be
(Chorus)
(G) It gets cold here (A)in the winter time
(D) And my mind drifts away (G) to that house across the bay (Em) (A)
(G) A long talk and a (A)glass of wine (D) and we'd love the night away (G)
But that was yesterday (Em) (A) in that house across the (D)bay
(Tag)
There was sunshine everyday (Em) and we'd love the night away (A) ---
In that house across the (D)bay --- |(Em) |(A) |(D) -----
When Love Comes Around Again 
Tom: D
Intro: D
D 
There's things you don't know 'til you know
Like when somebody's gone before they go
          G                               D
When it comes to love, you never really learn
Just when you think you've got it figured out
And you think you know what love's all about
        G                                     D
That's just about the time you're gonna get burned
         A
Oh, you tell yourself you've had enough
                  G
But that'll all change my friend
      A                  D
When love comes around again
ml )
(Chorus:)
D                          G
You say, you're swearing' off
                                          D
'Cause the only thing that love has ever done for you
                A
Is to make you hurt and cry, feel like you want to die
                     D
Break your heart in two, 
                        G
But then you'll see a smile
That'll knock you off your feet and you can't wait to meet
           D
The girl behind that face
        A                                         G
That's all it's gonna take and you'll fall right back in
      A                  D 
When love comes around again
D
Life ain't just coincidence
Things happen for a reason that don't make sense
          G                     D
Till you look back, it's 20/20 then
You know I never would have met my girl
If somebody else hadn't wrecked my world
                      G                    D 
And opened that door for her to walk right in
           A
Oh, I've stood right where you stand
             G
But that'll all change my friend
      A                  D 
When love comes around again
(Repeat Chorus)
             A                                          G
Yeah, that's all it's gonna take and you'll fall right back in
      A                 D
When love comes around again

And there's not one star in Heaven or a sunrise every morning

Referring to this guy she's come to know
                    F                           C 
Well, they're just friends, she loves him like a brother

And she's never even kissed him, she told me so

And there's roses blooming in the Arctic Circle

Icebergs in the Gulf of Mexico
C            F             C            F
And there's not one star in Heaven and eight don't follow seven
C               G             C   F  G  C
I'd believe it, if she told me so

It's a whole lot more than going to the store for a wedding ring 
     Em                     A                                 D         Bm

Love is everything 
     Em                       A                          D         Bm
It's a smile on your face on a cold winter day at the thought of spring 
     Em                         A                            D    Bm
It's getting up at night for the cry of a little bitty baby thing 
        Em         A
And it's growing old 
        G
Love is everything 
            F#                                     Bm

       Am               D                  G           F#
It's the hell your mama went through the day you were born 
         Em           A
And it's a thunderstorm 

verse - same chords as above
             
Love is everything 
Oh, it's going off to war, it's the back and forth on a front porch swing 
It's the kiss that you got in the old parking lot of the dairy queen 
And it's you and me 

        G
Love is everything 
            F#          F#/C#            Bm
It's looking out for everybody else but number one 
       Am               D                  G         F#
And it's all that really matters when all's said and done

Love is everything

It's a rose on a stone, it's the words in a song that the choir sings 
      Em                         A                          D/F#     Bm
It's the tears of goodbye and the place that you fly to, to get your wings 
    Em            A 
Yeah love's the king 
      D       Bm   Em  A
Love is everything 
      D       Bm   Em  A   D
Love is everything
I Just Cant Go On Dying Like This
Tom: C


    C             C7 
I'm driving in my car alone
    F
You called me on the telephone
C                      A7               D      G       
How many times will it take till I'm convinced
            C                    C7 
That you're using me, I'm just a used-to-be
       F
It's a lie, I know it's a lie
      C                G          C
But I just can't go on dying like this


Chorus:
      F
Can I see you tonight,
                            C F
Baby I'll act just like you want me to
   D
Or is that just exactly 
         G
what I'm not supposed to do?
          C
I'll just stop in here, 
       C7 
have a glass of beer
    F 
I'm just a fool I guess
      C                G          F
But I just can't go on dying like this

Solo

Here I am again, it's 4 a.m. 
I think I'll play that song again
The one called "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry"
And I'll wonder where you are tonight
I don't know, I just don't know
But I just can't go on dying like this

Chorus

Lord knows I just can't go on dying like this

C                                  Am        F     G

C                                   Am             F       G
but its hard to see stars with these tears in my eyes,
F                          G          F          G 
Its hard enough to cry, when there's 26 reasons why
C                          Am                  F         G
there's broken hearts that'll never beat the same, 
C                 Am                  F     G
shattered lives still reeling from the pain,
F                        G
our plans and dreams now gone,
F                 G
oh how did you move on

 
  C               Am                               F
but I believe there's someone who's looking after me
G               C                        Am
someone beside me, night and day to light the way
   F           G              F            G
its hard to concieve something you can't see
           C      Am   F    G
but I believe 
      C     Am   F    G 
I believe

 
Verse 2 - same chord progression as above

but I believe there's someone looking after me
G                             C                         Am
someone beside me, night and day to light the way
   F             G              F                        G
its hard to conceive something you can't see

I believe
C                           Am           F     G
rivers flow now that used to be dry
C                              Am                F    G               C with A hammer on

Drinkin Man 
Tom: F

F
I woke up this morning and I 
C
swore to God I'd never,
G                         C
ever take another drink again.
F
I fought it like the devil
C
but you know that you're in trouble
G                               C
when your fourteen and drunk by 10AM
F
tried to hide it from my mom and dad
C                                                          G
all my friends said straighten up I just laughed and said you don't understand
C                          G          C
that's a hell of a lot to ask of a drinkin' man


F
at sixteen I was on my own 
C
flyin' high and staying stoned
G                                C
I knew everything there was to know
F
I did things that I can't talk about
C
I wore my mom and daddy out
G                                      C
Late nights they spend prayin' for my soul


F
Stayed sober once for nine days in a row
C
I quit cold-turkey
G                            C
Dame near almost made it to ten
C                            G            C
But that's a hell of a lot to ask of a drinkin' man


F                 C                   G
I look into the mirror, bottle in my hand
F                        C                     G
I'd like to pour it out, I just don't think I can
C                               G            C
'Cause that's a hell of a lot to ask of a drinkin' man



F
I don't know when or where it was
C
Or how we met and fell in love
G                                     C
Or why she'd even fall for a guy like me
F
I tried to pull myself together
C
Hopin' we could last forever
G                           C
For a while I started to believe


F
Her daddy said, "She's all I got
C
Son, don't ever break her heart
G                               C
Promise me before you take her hand"
C                            G          C
But that's just too much to ask of a drinkin' man


F                 C                   G
I look into the mirror, bottle in my hand
F                        C                     G
I'd like to pour it out, I just don't think I can
C                               G            C
'Cause that's a hell of a lot to ask of a drinkin' man



F                          
I woke up this mornin' and I 
C                      
swore to god I'd never, 
G                         C
ever take another drink again

I pack my saddle throw it that two horse trailer
F                                       C
Back up my truck hook 'em up and drive away 
C
Won't be the first time but this times the last time
F                                                  C  
She meant it when she said it that's all I've got to say
G                                 G7
Never have been thrown like this before
G                  C        
I ain't her cowboy anymore
Never saw it comin' but i knew where it was goin'
When she asked how long this time before I hit the road
She didn't come right out and say it but i sure got the message
When i reached out to hold her that shoulder sure was cold
Figured I'd just let goodbye run it's course
I ain't her cowboy anymore
CHORUS
      F                               
These white lines are a blur 
         F
Like the last few nights I spent with her
  Am                      G             F
I don't know where I went wrong or if I did
         F
Like the good ol' boy I am
  F                                
I told her that I understand 
    Am                G               F
But lord knows that I won't long as I live
      Dm                            G
Seems lately every time it rains it pours 
                   C        
I ain't her cowboy anymore
We met in Denver settled down in Dallas
The best days of my life were the ones I spent with her
You'd think that all that lovin' ought to count for something
Guess I wore out my welcome like the rowels of these old spurs
That Casper sunset's what I'm shootin' for
Cause I ain't her cowboy anymore
REPEAT CHORUS
Her cowboy anymore
I ain't her cowboy
Anymore

The same old stool, the same old fool; played by the rules, but didn't win.
Bm                        E
There's an old love in his heart that he can't lose.

A                Amaj7              D                         E
A thousand dimes, a thousand times - he doesn't mind what they say.
Bm                       E
He fills the jukebox, and plays the same old song.
Bm                             E
He fills his glass, and then he turns her memory on.
[Chorus:]

It Was Me 
Tom: C
CAPO 2
 
   C
The first time I met her,
she walked right up to me.
         F
And said, "You're who I wanted to find."
              G
There was a man she had seen in her dreams.
           C   G   C  
And it was me.
 
   C 
She said I can't believe it.
Cause Ive never been in here,
          F
And I've passed this place so many times.
             G
It was her night to find destiny,
           C   G   C  
And it was me.
(Chorus)
 
       Csus2                       C
And we danced every song that they played,
                F
and talked until closing time.
    D
The closer I held her,
                    G
The more I knew her destiny.
           F         G
Wasn't that far from mine.
 
Continue with same chord progression as above verses
 
Then I saw a reflection of someone unfamiliar.
Looking back when I looked in her eyes.
The happiest man I'd ever seen,
And it was me.
(Repeat Chorus)
She wasn't looking,
and I wasn't looking.
Ain't it funny?
That's when love was found.
She still calls it her lucky night,
Yeah, someone was lucky.
she's right, 
but it was me.

Now Christmas cookies are a special treat
   F
The more she bakes the more I eat
    G                               C
And sometimes I can't get myself to stop
C
Sometimes she'll wait til I'm asleep
           F
And she'll take the ones that I didn't eat

And put those little sprinkley things on top

Well her old friend from her old end of town dropped by today
    D                                                     E7   
And way down deep inside me something died when he came ‘round
                A
To see her that way
        D                                           G     
Here it comes again that same old chilly wind will blow
                   E7
Like a cold winter squall
    D               A                   D     A 
I begin to feel the chill of an early fall
CHORUS:
A           D                                       G      D

There's a storm coming on and it won't be too long till the snow falls
           D                                     G     
Oh I'll be sober some but when October comes and goes
               E7 
In not time at all
     D                 A                 D
I'll begin to feel the chill of an early fall
BRIDGE:

Oh how quickly slip away,  here today and gone tomorrow
       D              Bm    E7                       A
Loving seasons never stay, bitter winds are sure to follow
VERSE 2:
            D                                   G     
Now there's no doubt, it's gonna be cold out tonight
                  D    A
I've shivered all day
       D                                         E7   
When I look in her eyes and even to hold her so tight
                A 
She just looks away
CHORUS 2:
          D                                                      G    
Oh she'll swear that it's true  He's just someone she knew long ago
                  E7
But I know that's not all
         D                 A                 Bm    E7
And I'll begin to feel the chill of an early fall

Oh I'll begin to feel the chill of an early fall
I Hate Everything
Tom: G 
Intro: Am   D   C   G  
G
He was sittin there beside me throwing doubles down
When he ordered up his third one he looked around
                  C                                     G
Then he looked at me an said I do believe I’ll have one more
          Am             G/B                 C
He said I hate this bar        and I hate to drink 
       Am             G/B       C            G
But on second thought tonight I think I hate everything

G
Then he opened up his billfold and threw a twenty down
And a faded photograph fell out and hit the ground
                C                                       G
And I picked it up he said thank ya bud I put it in his hand
          Am              G/B            C
He said I probably oughta throw this one away 
      Am                G/B        C         G
Cause she’s the reason I feel this way I hate everything

Chorus
C
Well I hate my job and I hate my life
          G                  D                  Am                  
And if it weren’t for my two kids I’d hate my ex-wife
C
I know I should move on and try to start again
      G              D        Am             C                  
But I just can’t get over her leaving me for him
        Am                 D                  C
Then he shook his head and looked down at his ring 
             G
 said I hate everything


G
He said that one bedroom apartment where I get my mail
Is really not a home its more like a jail
                C                                        G
With a swimming pool and a parking lot view man its just great
       Am      G/B             C
I hate summer, winter fall and spring 
Am            G/B             C            G
Red and yella purple blue and green I hate everything


Chorus
C
Well I hate my job and I hate my life
          G                  D                  Am                  
And if it weren’t for my two kids I’d hate my ex-wife
C
I know I should move on and try to start again
    G                D        Am            C                  
But I just can’t get over her living me for him
        Am                  D                 C
Then he shook his head and looked down at his ring 
             G
 said I hate everything

Solo -  C   G   D   Am   C   Am    D   C   G
G
So I pulled out my phone and I called my house
Said babe I’m coming home we’re gonna work this out
               Am       D  C                           D    C
I paid for his drinks          and I told him thanks
                   G
Thanks for everything

Capo - 3        Without capo change to these
G---------------------Bb
C---------------------Eb
D---------------------F
Am--------------------Cm
If played without capo it sounds better when playing the Bb
barred at the 6th fret and play other chords in the same relation.

Why don't you take it
Don't let that speed limit slow you down
Go on and break it

Pretend that everything's ok, but

But you left me all alone in love

It's gonna take me awhile 
'Cause I still love you desperately 
Desperately I long to feel your touch 
But you left me all alone in love 
And now I 
Watch the sun goin' down 
There ain't nobody around 
I feel a night in the breeze 
I keep on tellin' myself 
I don?t need nobody else 
And I can do as I please, but 
Desperately I long to feel your touch 
But you left me all alone in love

I still love you desperately 
I still love you 
I still want you 
I still love you desperately

Three days before we had to be back.

Things that I'd do diff'rent now from then.

D                               A
She always asks the man to play something real slow
D                              G
When we get home I know she'll take up the slack
D (quick strum and nothing else)                     
Cause when it comes to loving she don't hold nothin' back.
         G
When she loves me it's the things that she says
         D
When she loves me she's way out on the edge
         G
When she loves me I lose track of time, 
     A                    G                  D
When my baby loves me she lays it all on the line.
   A           
My baby taught me something everybody should learn
            D
When you're playing with fire it's alright to get burned
   E                                                
It really don't matter if you lose or you win
    A
The only way to do it is get out on that limb.
Solo:  D   G   D   A   D   G   D   A   D
         G
When she loves me she's nearly outta control
         D
When she love, loves me it comes from deep in her soul
         G                
When she loves me I know she's all mine
     A                    G                  D
When my baby loves me she lays it all on the line.

It don't show what's deep inside.
Em
Oh read between the lines,
C                             G

Down in Louisiana bayous by and by
A peirot pole or your natural soul
Keeps you tied to a tree high tide
    F#m
Beer joint lights come on

And then crowd starts rollin' in
Pretty soon you got stars on the water
You got stars on the water
        F#m
You got stars on the water
         A
When it rains
Beaumont to Biloxi sea breeze at your door
Gypsy rains dang hurricanes
White silver sandy shores
Blue light lounge is shinin'
Why out on the pier
Makes it look just like stars on the water
Just like stars on the water
Just like stars on the water
When it rains
Guitar Solo
When it's midnight down in Mobile
Shining moon beams on the bay
They come from miles around
To dance the jukebox down
Th hear the good time sounds they play
And all across the harbor night life shinin' on
Makes you feel just like stars on the water
Just like stars on the water
Just like stars on the water
When it rains

I Can Still Make Cheyenne
Tom: C
C                           F
Her telephone rang 'bout a quarter to nine
C                           G                F
She heard his voice on the other end of the line
                       G
She wondered what was wrong this time
C                        F
She never knew what his calls might bring
        C                       G
With a cowboy like him it could be anything
         F                   G                       G     C  Gsus
And she always expected the worst in the back of her mind. 
C                                F
He said, "It's cold out here and I'm all alone,
C                            G                   F
I didn't make the short go again and I'm coming home.
                   G
I know I've been away too long.
C                       F
I never got a chance to write or call
C                               G
And I know this rodeo has been hard on us all
         F                 G                         C
But I'll be home soon and honey is there something wrong?"
[Chorus:]
F                        G
She said, "Don't bother comin' home.
        Am       G            F
By the time you get here I'll be long gone.
         C                   G
There's somebody new and he sure ain't no rodeo man."
F                         G
He said, "I'm sorry it's come down to this.
        Am        G            F
There's so much about you that I'm gonna miss.
          C                  G                         F
But it's alright baby, if I hurry I can still make Cheyenne.
      C                  G                      C        G
Gotta go now baby, if I hurry I can still make Cheyenne.
C                           F
He left that phone danglin' off the hook
C                             G                F
Then slowly turned around and gave it one last look
              G
Then he just walked away
C                              F
He aimed his truck toward that Wyoming line
       C                          G
With a little luck he could still get there in time
    F                 G                           C
And in that Cheyenne wind he could still hear her say.
[Chorus:]
F                        G
She said, "Don't bother comin' home.
        Am       G            F
By the time you get here I'll be long gone.
         C                   G
There's somebody new and he sure ain't no rodeo man."
F                         G
He said, "I'm sorry it's come down to this.
        Am        G            F
There's so much about you that I'm gonna miss.
          C                  G                         F
But it's alright baby, if I hurry I can still make Cheyenne.
      C                  G                      C        G
Gotta go now baby, if I hurry I can still make Cheyenne.
C                        F
She never knew what his calls might bring
        C                       G
With a cowboy like him it could be anything
         F                   G                       G     C

Why Cant I Leave Her Alone 
Tom: D
Intro: D  G
   D
I know I don't want her, I swear that's a fact
          G
But the thought of somebody else rubbing her back
      D
Just kills me
         A
Oh, it kills me
   D
I know she don't love me, I know she ain't home
    G
So why in the hell do I pick up this phone
     D
And call her?
          A
Why do I call her?
Chorus:
       D
I've dropped by her momma's stoned out of my mind
         G
Just to hear that it's over from her one more time
    A
As if I didn't see that red Chevy not slowing down
                                  G
Loaded down and rolling down our road
             Em
Yeah, she's already left
    A                      D       G
So why can't I leave her alone
 D
I've wrote her letters signed I was a fool
 G
She wrote me back saying go find a stool
      D
And drink one
              A
Like you've always done
      D
So that's what I did 'cause that's what I do
      G
Backsliding, hiding away from the truth
           D
'Til the tears run
     A
Oh, here comes one

Baby Blue
Tom: D
Intro: D   G    D    G  
 
VERSE 1: 
           D              F#m/C# 
She looked so much like a lady 
               G/B         A 
But she was so much like a child 
F#m                Bm 
The devil when she held me close 
   G              A 
An angel when she smiled 
D                   F#m/C# 
She always held it deep inside 
         G           A 
But somehow I always knew 
F#m                    Bm 
She'd go away when the grass turned green 
        G               D 
And the sky turned Baby Blue 
 
 
REFRAIN: 
     D  F#m       G            A 
Baby Blue was the color of her eyes 
     F#m  Bm        G        A 
Baby Blue, like the Colorado skies 
       Bm    
Like a breath of Spring, she came and left 
    D                  E 
And I still don't know why 
    F#m                   Bm           G             D 
So, here's to you, and whoever holds my Baby Blue, tonight 
 
REPEAT INTRO 
 
VERSE 2: 
She brought colors to my life 
That my eyes had never touched 
When she taught me how to care 
I never cared so much 
I try not to think of her 
But I fall asleep and do 
And drift off where the grass is green 
And the sky is Baby Blue

The Nerve

I'm glad I had the nerve to talk to you that day

I could just as easily have let you get away
E               A2 E    C#m      G#m     A
In that crowded airport far from my home town
A                E                G#m7     B  A

A                     E            B                 G#m
And say I bought this ring for you won't you wear it please

If he hadn't I sure wouldn't be here with you now

Or I never would have lived like this

Or laughed like this

My great-grandaddy's great-grandpa in eighteen thirty-three

He met an Indian maiden in the Smoky Mountain mist

If they hadn't crossed that line I would not exist

I'm glad they had the nerve

And I'm glad He had the nerve while staring into space
   A            E       B          G#m
To give this universe a time and a place
E             A2 E       C#m  G#m    A
With one tiny atom or an Adam and an Eve
A                E         G#m7 B   A
However you look at it whatever you believe
A                   E
I'm glad He had the nerve

Or we never would have lived like this

Or learned like this

Thank God He had the nerve

Well you don't bring nothin' with you here and you can't take nothin' back
I ain't never seen a hearse with a luggage rack

Spent so much time flyin' high till I'm face first in the ground
So if you're up there watchin' me, would you talk to God and say
Tell Him I might need a hand to see you both some day...

All hopes and cares

There's a soft rain tappin' on your window
                                       F
There's a cool breeze blowin' off the bay
       G7                            F
And a warm flame dancing with our shadows
                       C
To music playing far away
C                         F C
I never meant to stay an hour
                                 F
I thought that I was passin' through
          G7              F
another town along the highway
                           C     C7
I never meant to fall for you
F             G7           C
But I can't speak for you Maria
E                     F
I only know the way I feel

When I sleep with you Maria
F                G7                   C
There's nothing left for dreams to steel
C       F    G7        C
On the bible by the mirror
                             F
The only treasures that we hold
                               G7
the only secret that we're keeping
   F        G7                C
a watch, a chain, a cross of gold
F             G7           C
But I can't speak for you Maria
E                     F
I only know the way I feel

When I sleep with you Maria

There's nothing left for dreams to steel
C       F    G7        C
When the sunlight brings the mornin'
                             F
I can't tell you what I'll do
                             G7
I've a mind to take you with me
   F        G7                C
I've a heart to stay with you
 
F             G7           C
But I can't speak for you Maria
E                     F

Everything that I've got, is just what I've got on.

G                      Em                C            G
They took my saddle in Houston, broke my leg in Santa Fe.
                   Em              C               D
Lost my wife and a girlfriend, somewhere along the way.
        Em                          C
I'll be lookin' for eight when they pull that gate,
      G         Em          C
And I hope that judge ain't blind.
G           Em           C            G
Amarillo by mornin', Amarillo's on my mind.
G           Em       C             G
Amarillo by mornin', up from San Antone.
                Em           C                  D
Everything that I've got, is just what I've got on.
        Em                    C
I ain't got a dime, but what I got is mine,
        G         Em       C
I ain't rich, but Lord I'm free.
G           Em          C                  G
Amarillo by mornin', Amarillo's where I'll be
G           Em          C                  G
Amarillo by mornin', Amarillo's where I'll be.
