E      G#m    A G#m F#m
drinking beer in the afternoon
and she’s packed her stuff to move back home
again she says why can’t you change
and i say babe take off your dress and stay

E      G#m    A G#m F#m
and she says that’s not going to work for you any more
she grabs the kid and heads out the door
and i say honey baby why you gotta go away
come back here take off your dress and stay

A        B    E                C#m
cuz i don’t know what i’ll do without you girl
A        B               E E
don’t you know you’re my everything
A        B    E                C#m
i guess i can take the falling down l forever
A        B               E G#m  A G#m  F#m
if i can just avoid landing

E      G#m    A G#m F#m
and this aint the first time that she gone away
seems it happens bout every other day
seems there’s something bout the way i cry all night
makes her think her mom just may be right

E      G#m    A G#m F#m
and who knows maybe your mom just sees in you
all the same things that i do
and i say honey baby why you gotta go away
come back here take off your dress and stay – chorus

A        B    E                C#m
cuz i don’t know what i’ll do without you girl
A        B               E E
don’t you know you’re my everything
A        B    E                C#m
i can take the falling down forever
A        B               E G#m  A G#m  F#m
if i can just avoid landing
A          E    F#m       A        B
cuz if i fly straight down,
the world keeps getting closer and i can fall forever
cuz when i fly straight down,
i can’t go any faster and this is just the way i’m meant to be

E G#m  A G#m  F#m C#m  G#m  A  B7E      G#m    A G#m F#m
