Intro - Am x 8


Am                                F               E7
It seems just like yesterday when we were standing here
Am                             F               E7
Yankee's hat upon my head and your voice in my ear
       Dm                                Am
As I talked about the future and all the things we'd do
   F                                     B
I never thought your lovin' words would frighten me from you


Am                         F               E7
I remember when I sold my car to board that train
Am                                   F           E7
You said you were sure that I would not come back again
    Dm                                 Am
And now you see with your own eyes and start to realize
     F                              B
I'm not the man I thought I was so try to sympathize


             Am               B
The way you think about your life
            E7             Am
Is gonna change, change tonight
           Am            Dm
Don't even try out that frown
          E7              Am
'Cuz your man is back in town

Interlude - Am x 2 bars

    Am                                    F                   E7
I'm sure you've been thinkin' 'bout just where the hell I've been?
Am                                F            E7
Painted your own pictures of the trouble I got in
Dm                                 Am
There were times I will admit my heart saw better days
     F                                B
But I'm the type that has to lose to find I had it made


Am                             F                 E7
No use talkin' too much about things we cannot change
  Am                                 F                 E7
I know you think it's crazy but I'm here to set things straight
Dm                             Am
I'm standing here to say that I'll give love a try
F                          B
It's my complicated way to say I'll simplify


             Am               B
The way you think about your life
            E7             Am
Is gonna change, change tonight
           Am            Dm
Don't even try out that frown
          E7              Am
'Cuz your man is back in town


           Am                B
Baby, it's cool to take your time
         E7             Am
I was a fool out of my mind
              Am                   Dm
So let's jump off of this merry-go-round
          E7              Am
'Cuz your man is back in town


Interlude - Am x 2 bars


       E7                  Am
I was drawn away, now I'm back to stay
       B                         Am
I was wrong to think there was a better way
      Dm              E7          Am        F
Now I see with my own eyes, 'bout time I realize
   B                                   E7
I hope in time you will forgive, I'll never leave your side
