F                 Bb
 So tired of this heavy load.
F                      Bb
 I've been carrying it for so long.
Dm            Bb                 C
 I don't know what it wants with me.

 Lord please let me be.
F                              Bb
 Rolling dice on my hotel room bed.
          F                                   Bb
 "Man, it feels so nice to love some one" she said.
                 C                 Bb                         
 "Cause when the evening comes I'm scared to be bad all
F
by myself."
      C            Bb                 F
And I know exactly how it feels to be by myself.

And now she's singing,
F                                   Bb
"Happiness always scared me half to death.
      F                         Bb
Never had myself no lovin' to caress."
               C                    Bb                   
Little darling stop those tears and dry those eyes,
      F
I'm a be right here.
    C                  Bb                      F
And I'd really love to stay tonight, if you'll have me here.
F       Bb
Oh, oh, oh, oh
       F                        C
Little girl you know I love you so.
      Dm                   Bb
Let's take it easy now and simmer down.
       C                    Bb       F
Little girl, let's take the long way home.
