Lyrics

(A)Ba by, we can talk all night,

but that ain’t get ting us no where.

I’ve told you (A)ev ’ry thing I (F#m)pos si bly can;

there’s noth ing left in side of here.

And (A)may be you can cry all night,

but (D)that ’ll nev er change the way that I feel.

The snow is (A)real ly pil ing (F#m)up out side;

I (D)wish you would n’t make me leave here.

I poured it on and (E)I poured it out,

I tried to show you (E)just how (A)much I care.

I’m tired of words and (E)I’m too (A)hoarse to (F#m)shout,

but you’ve been cold to me so long, I’m cry ing (D)i ci cles in stead of tears.

And (D)all I can (E)do

is (D)keep on (E)tell ing you I (A)want you,

I (F#m)need you,

but there (D)ain’t no (E)way I’m ev er gon na (F#m)love you.

Now (Bm)don’t be sad,

(don’t be sad, ’cause) ’cause (D)two out of three ain’t (F#m)bad.

Now (Bm)don’t

be

sad,

’cause (D)two out of three ain’t bad.

You’ll (D)nev er find your gold (E)on a (A)sand y beach.

You’ll (D)nev er drill for oil (E)on a (A)cit y street.

I (A)know you’re (D)look ing for a ru by (E)in a (A)moun tain of rocks, (A)but there (G)ain’t no Coupe de Ville hid ing at the bot tom of a (E)Crack er Jack box.

I can’t lie.

I can’t tell you that I’m (D)some thing I’m not,

no mat ter how I try.

I’ll (C#m)nev er be a ble

to give you some thing, (D)some thing that I just have n’t got.

There’s (A)on ly one girl that I will (A)ev er love, and that was so man y (D)years a go.

And though I know I’ll (A)nev er get her (F#m)out of my heart, she nev er (D)loved me back,

ooh, I know.

Well, I re (A)mem ber how she left me on a (A)storm y night,

and she (D)kissed me and got (E)out of our bed.

And though I plead ed and I (A)begged her not to (F#m)walk out that door,

she (D)packed her bags and turned right a way.

And she (D)kept on (E)tell ing me, she (D)kept on (E)tell ing me, she (D)kept on (E)tell ing me, “I (A)want you,

I (F#m)need you,

but there (D)ain’t no (E)way I’m ev er gon na (F#m)love you.

Now (Bm)don’t be sad,

(don’t be sad, ’cause) ’cause (D)two out of three ain’t (A)bad.”

I (D)two out of three ain’t bad.

(A)Ba by, we can talk all (A)night,

but that ain’t get ting (E)us no where.
