[Verse]

Bm Am7

Our conversation was short and sweet

Bm Am7

It nearly swept me off-a my feet.

G C

And I'm back in the rain, oh

G C

And you are on dry land,

Am7

You made it there somehow

Bm7 Am7 D7/F# G D/F#

You're a big girl now.

[Verse]

Bm Am7

Bird on the horizon, sittin' on fence

Bm Am7

He's singin' his song for me at his own expense

G C

And I'm just like that bird, oh,

G C

Singin' just for you

Am7

I hope that you can hear,

Bm7 Am7 D7/F# G D/F#

Hear me singin' through these tears.

[Verse]

Bm Am7

Time is a jet plane, it moves too fast

Bm Am7

Oh, but what a shame that all we've shared can't last.

G C

I can change, I swear, oh

G C

See what you can do

Am7

I can make it through,

Bm7 Am7 D7/F# G D/F#

You can make it too.

[Verse]

Bm Am7

Love is so simple, to quote a phrase,

Bm Am7

You've known it all the time, I'm learnin' it these days .

G C

Oh, I know where I can find you, oh,

G C

In somebody's room.

Am7

It's a price I have to pay

Bm7 Am7 D7/F# G D/F#

You're a big girl all the way.

[Verse]

Bm Am7

A change in the weather is known to be extreme

Bm Am7

But what's the sense in changing horses in midstream?

G C

I'm going out of my mind, oh

G C

With a pain that stops and starts,

Am7

Like a corkscrew to my heart

Bm7 Am7 D7/F# G D/F#

Ever since we've been apart.
