[C]When you see a roadside bar[Em]
[C]Or an old button down with a cigar[Em]ette scar
[Dm]Think of me babe, because that's when I'm thinking of [G]you
[C]It's not that you'll know where I'm [Em]at
[C]I won't be calling up your house or [Em]nothing like that
[Dm]I'm an old man now, and thinking's what I do[G]
[C]I took my car this morning, gonna ge[Em]t new shocks
[C]I saw a woman out watering a window [Em]box
[Dm]And a couple of kids I thought could have been you and [G]me
[C]Something sparked up in my brain to te[Em]ll you the truth
[C]I bought a box of raisins and a Baby R[Em]uth
[Dm]And sat down on the curb, twelve o'clock turned into thre[G]e
[Dm]I can't explain your touch by saying baby's got it in the[G] genes
[Dm]Cause girl that don't account for much but it sells a lot[G] of magazines

[C]Living without you babe, it ain't so [Em]bad
[C]I've got a memory of you I didn't know[Em] I had
[Dm]And it's rattling round, being called back out of the[G] deep
[C]I'll be the first one to tell you not m[Em]uch can last
[C]And I knew that full well before you ca[Em]me and past
[Dm]So why are you on my mind tonight when I'm trying to s[G]leep?
