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, its gettin hard to breathe
No this aint how it was suppose to be
Youre 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 youd 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 its so hard to show my face round lately
In this small town
I guess they heard the news 'bout me and you
Its three a.m. and I cant 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 youd never go away
Are they just things that people say
Well my momma wont 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 youd never go away
Are they just things that people say
Are they just things, baby
