Half step down

I took the train up from Illinois

 I was following through on a letter you sent

I always feared that you'd be true

True to yourself to the bitter end

It just kinda happened, or so she says

 She was drinking and lonely, you know the rest

And he meant nothing, he was happenstance

She says she loves me still and wants a second chance

Refrain

But i don't wanna be together

I don't wanna be apart

I don't want none of this love for you honey

Deep, deep down in my heart

Where is my golden crown

That you took and passed around

There's no telling what a man might do

 With a life like this when it all falls through

Refrain

I don't wanna be together

I don't wanna be apart

I don't want none of this love for you honey

Deep, deep down in my heart

Harmonica break:

You were my dream come true

Can't you see what you've put me through

The love that tears me apart

Still beats deep, deep down in my heart

Deep, deep, deep down in my heart

End with same chords and harmonica:
