Play Ryth Fig. 1 total of 2x over these verses (doubled by clean electric)
Baby we can talk all night
But that ain?t getting us nowhere
I told you everything I possibly can
There?s nothing left inside of here
And maybe you can cry all night
But that?ll never change the way that I feel
The snow is really piling up outside
I wish you wouldn?t make me leave here (Fill 1)

Play w/Rhth. Fig 1
Now there?s only one girl that I will ever love
And that was so many years ago
And though I know I?ll never get her out of my heart
She never loved me back, ohh I know
Well I remember how she left me on that stormy night
Oh she kissed me and got out of our bed
And though I pleaded and I begged her not to walk out that door
She packed her bags and turned right away
D E
And she kept on telling me
D E
She kept on telling me
D D E
She kept on telling me
