Play Ryth Fig. 1 total of 2x over these verses (doubled by clean electric)

Baby we can talk all night
But that ain’t getting us nowhere
I told you everything I possibly can
There’s nothing left inside of here

And maybe you can cry all night
But that’ll never change the way that I feel
The snow is really piling up outside
I wish you wouldn’t make me leave here (Fill 1)

D			    A
I poured it on and I poured it out
D                            A
I tried to show you just how much I care
D                             A
I’m tired of words and I’m to hoarse to shout
G
But you’ve been cold to me so long
D              			E
I’m crying icicles instead of tears
    D         E     D        E
And all I can do is keep on telling you

CHORUS

        D                         A
You’ll never find your gold on a sandy beach
        D                        A
You’ll never drill for oil on a city street
             D                       A
I know your looking for a ruby in a mountain of rocks
          G
But there ain’t no Coupe de Ville
                          E
Hiding at the bottom of a Cracker Jack box


  C#m
I can’t lie (I can’t lie)
				   D
I can’t tell you that I’m something I’m not

No matter how I try
     C#m
I’ll never be able

To give you something
 D					E
Something that I just haven’t got

Play w/Rhth. Fig 1
Now there’s only one girl that I will ever love
And that was so many years ago
And though I know I’ll never get her out of my heart
She never loved me back, ohh I know

Well I remember how she left me on that stormy night
Oh she kissed me and got out of our bed
And though I pleaded and I begged her not to walk out that door
She packed her bags and turned right away
        D        E
And she kept on telling me
	D	 E
She kept on telling me
     D   D   E
She kept on telling me
