Emaj7 B7 Our conversation was short and sweet Emaj7 B7 It nearly swept me off-a my feet. E5 B4 A And I'm back in the rain, mm-mm E5 B4 A And you are on dry land, mm-mm F#m7 *) You made it there somehow Emaj7 B7 E5 . . A | E Bvii . . | You're a big girl now. Bird on the horizon, sittin' on a fence, He's singin' his song for me at his own expense And I'm just like that bird, oh, oh, Singin' just for you, mm-mm. I hope that you can hear, Hear me singin' through these tears. Love is so simple, to quote a phrase, You've known it all the time, I'm learnin' it these days . Oh, I know where I can find You, oh, oh, In somebody's room. m-mm It's a price I have to pay You're a big girl all the way.
Time is a jet plane, it moves too fast Oh, but what a shame that all we've shared can't last. I can change, I swear, mm-mm See what you can do, mm-mm. I can make it through, You can make it too. A change in the weather can be extreme But it ain't like changing horses in midstream I'm going out of my mind, mm-mm With a pain that stops and starts, mm-aa Like a corkscrew to my heart Ever since we've been apart.
