Standard (EADGBE)
Or even if a quart of milk were still a quart
And the hours well, I don't mind
How they creep on by like an old love of mine
Its the years that simply disappear that are doing me in
Guess I married too young, yeah nineteen was just too young
But sometimes you meet someone and you;re guts just burn
Its not that I dont love him anymore
Its just that when I hear him coming through that front door
My heart doesnt race like it did once before
But I got a horse out in the country
I get to see him every second Sunday
He comes when I call him Yeah he knowshis name
One day I'll saddle up and the two of us will ride away
The weather I could almost stand
If the sun would shine a little brighter
Or even if the sun would shine at all
But lately it seems to me that this life has lost its mystery
and these cold fall mornings seem to bite just a little bit harder
All my friends have settled down
Becoming mothers and fathers without a sound
Except for Cathy, she bought a one way subway ticket
and left us all behind
Chorus
This town wouldnt be so bad
If a girl could trust her instincts
Or even if a girl could trust a boy
