Intro: D  F#m  G  Bm (2x)	 

  D              G 
I want in like a substitute 
           Bm            G 
I've been working awful hard for you 
        D                   G 
But you don't say, you just hold your breath 
     Bm                 G 
So I can't touch what I haven't yet 
        D               G 
She's a cold one and it hurts me so 
       Bm              G 
It's a dark path and a heck of a toll 
              D                     G         Bm    G 
And she could kill me just like she did before 

           D 
We'd be so free- 
         F#m 
Happy alone 
          G 
Sharing a smile 
            Bm 
So far from home 

D             G 
Pushing and a pulling weight 
         Bm                G 
It's the hard part but the true love way 
            D             G 
Girl you're wanted like a wanted man 
          Bm                   G 
With your smart mouth and your killer hand 
         D                   G 
We could both share all that I have made 
      Bm               G 
For a young man it's a heck of a wage 
           D            G             Bm   G 
And I feel crazy when I see your face 
                 D 
Cause we'd be so free- 
          F#m 
Happy alone 
          G 
Sharing a smile 
            Bm 
So far from home 
             D 
And we would laugh 
              F#m 
Laugh till we cried 
          G 
Making up songs 
                 Bm 
You're making me lie 

Bm                 G          A            D 
And people say our babies are walking this town 
Bm                 G          A            D 
And people say our babies are walking this town 
Bm                 G          A            D 
And people say our babies are just wanderin' around 
Bm                 G          A 
And people say our babies are walking... 

D  F#m  G  Bm (2x) 

                 D 
Cause we'd be so free- 
          F#m 
Happy alone 
          G 
Sharing a smile 
            Bm 
So far from home 
             D 
And we would laugh 
              F#m 
Laugh till we cried 
          G 
Making up songs 
                 Bm 
You're making me lie 
          D 
Happy alone
