Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

There I was at the bus stop beggin’ you just to stay

  Can we work this out, baby we can work this out

A dust trail from a Greyhound headed for the West Coast

  As I watch you leave, it’s gettin’ hard to breathe

  No this ain’t how it was suppose to be

You’re out chasin’ all your dreams

  Tell me where does that leave me

What about the plans that you left behind

 The little white house by the railway line

 The one we picked out, we even put the payment down

What about the promise that you made

 To stay with me 'til your dying day

 You said you’d never go away

 Are they just things that people say

 Are they just things, baby

The preacher stopped by the house last Tuesday

Asked if I was fine

  We sat and talked a while, he tried to make me smile

  But it’s so hard to show my face round lately

In this small town

  I guess they heard the news 'bout me and you

  It’s three a.m. and I can’t sleep at all

  I wonder where you are tonight and do I ever cross your mind

What about the plans that you left behind

 The little white house by the railway line

 The one we picked out, we even put the payment down

What about the promise that you made

 To stay with me 'til your dying day

 You said you’d never go away

 Are they just things that people say

 Well my momma won’t stop crying

 She wonders what went wrong

 Could I have loved a little deeper

 Or did I hold on too strong

What about the plans that you left behind

 The little white house by the railway line

 The one we picked out, we even put the payment down

What about the promise that you made

 To stay with me 'til your dying day

 You said you’d never go away

 Are they just things that people say

 Are they just things, baby
