Intro: A

Verse:
A                                         D
Well I'm afraid that it's true, I'm leavin' you
A                                            E
But rest assured, tomorrow I'll be home.
A                                         D
Cuz you know I never could, I never was no good
A                     E                A
Lord knows at bein' on my own.

A                               D
Never was the type to want to settle down,
A                                                 E
But never had the nerve to ramble on.
      A                                     D
So I'm leaving here tonight, but I'll be back before dawn
                A                   E                          A
So leave a light on, and keep my supper warm.

Chorus:
A
Never been a fighter or a lover,
A                                          E
never thought that either made much sense.
      A                     A7                       D D7
and I can't decide on this way or the other,
     A                         E              A
So I live my life just sittin on this fence.

Verse:
A                                  D
and today I feel restless, tomorrow I won't fret this,
A                                              E
There's no tellin' what this boy will do,
A                                D
but baby guarantee, the moment that I'm free,
A                            E                   A
that's when I'll come crawlin' back to you.

Chorus

Bridge:
    E                                                   D                                 A
and I don't know how you can stand it, I don't know why you stay,
       E                                        D              A
but you know I never planned it, to turn out this way,
    E                                            D                          A
and I would understand it, if you couldn't take any more,
        D                                           E
of my always keeping one foot out the door.

Verse:
A                                    D
and I want to get married, I want to raise a family,
A                                     E
do like all the other people do,
        A                          A7                          D                 D7
But what self-respecting woman, would ever have me and not stab me,
     A                                  E                   D7           
When I wanna have my cake and eat it too
