Lyrics

Oh, she did n’t bat an eye

as I packed my (Cm7)bags to leave.

I thought that she would (Cm7)start to cry,

or sit a round this (Cm7)old room and grieve.

Oh, but the girl, she (F6)fooled me this time;

she act ed like it was the last thing on her mind.

I would like to

(F7)start all o ver a gain.

Oh, ba by, can I change my mind?

I just wan na change my mind.

Ba by, let me change my mind.

Oh, she As I took those steps

as right to that (Cm7)o pen door,

I thought that know ing (Cm7)all the time,

or Lord, I just did (Cm7)not want to go.

Oh, but she did n’t (F6)give me no sign,

she noth ing that would make the me change on my mind.

I would like to

(F7)start all o ver a gain.

Oh, ba by, can I change my mind?

I just wan na change my mind.

Ba by, let me change my mind.

Oh, I played my games

so man y (Cm7)times be fore.

Peo ple, let me tell you all:

ev ’ry time, I nev er, nev er reached that door.

Oh, but the wind, it howls to night.

Look ing back, my ba by’s no where in sight.

I would like to

(F7)start all o ver a gain.

Oh (Cm7)ba by, ba by, can I change my mind?

I would love to change my mind.

I just wan na change my mind.

Ba by, let me change my mind.

I just wan na change my mind.

Ba by, let me change my mind.
