Capo 2nd Fret
Intro: (D) (Bm) (G) (G) (D)
(D) Met her down in Tampa Bay
(Bm) Spring Break - '88
(G) She came to hear my band play
And man, we were on that (D) night
Twin guitars and 20 minute jams
(Bm) Tush, Cocaine, Sweet Home Alabam'
(G) I knew I had her in the palm of my hand
When I stepped in the spot(D)light
(Bm) Hot and heavy in that (A) little alley
On a (G) 15 minute break
(Bm) We shared a cigar(A)ette
A long kiss
(G) And she stood there by the stage
All night by the stage
(N.C.) Man, what can I say?
She (D) loved me
(D) After five long years of tryin' to be a star
(Bm) I sold my axe and I quit them bars
(G) Got a real job, fixin' trucks and cars
Had a couple new mouths to (D) feed
Eventually that monthly wage
(Bm) And the finer points of the suburban age
(G) All became bars on a cage
Man, it was killin' (D) me
(Bm) I started cussin' - (A) gettin' mad at nothin'
And (G) blamin' her for ruinin' my life
(Bm) I started sinkin'
(A) Cheatin' and a drinkin'
But she (G) stood there, by my side
Right there by my side
(N.C.) With tears in her eyes
And she (D) loved me
She (E7) loved me
Heaven (G) knows the reasons why
I'll never know the reasons why
She (D) loved me
(D) She finally left, three years ago
(Bm) Married a man out in New Mexico
(G) Calls to say the boys are really growin'
God, I miss them (D) kids
As for me, I'm twelve steps down the line
(Bm) I found a church, that I like just fine
(G) Even got a gig playing these songs of mine
Oh, how I remini(D)ce
(Bm) Hot and heavy in that (A) little alley
On a (G) 15 minute break
(Bm) We shared a cigar(A)ette
A long kiss
(G) And she stood there by the stage
All night by the stage
(N.C.) Man, those were the days
She (D) loved me
She (E7) loved me
Heaven (G) knows the reasons why
I'll never know the reasons why
She (D) loved me
She (E7) loved me
Heaven (G) knows the reasons why
I'll never know the reasons why
She (N.C.) loved me
