Intro: G Bm C G 

Verse 

G                                                       Bm 
Oh, I used to wish I was a hard line taker...and they'd say, 
Bm 
"Six to one a half dozen'll break her," 
      C                                            G 
'Till I fell in love with a young man who sang the blues 
G 
Oh, bless my daddy, he warned me well 
     Bm 
He'd whisper in my ear and say, "Now look out, gal... 
        C                                         G 
There's always a ne'er do well gonna call you the fool" 

                 C                        G 
He said, "You'll never learn to fish on a borrowed line 
       C                              G 
You'll never learn to write if you're walkin' 'round cryin' 
           C              G 
And it's a pity that your lover died young, but... 
       Cm                        G 
You'll never get tired of livin' alone." 


Verse 

G 
So, now I dream of the lover that I don't know 
     Bm 
It's safer this way 'cuz I don't have to go... 
        C                              G 
Oh, and he won't come...so nobody goes away 
G 
Sometimes I wish for the warmth of his hand 
       Bm 
Take a look in these eyes and understand 
           C                                                G 
I'm just a little too old to be a-learnin' the rules of the game 

                 C                        G 
He said, "You'll never learn to fish on a borrowed line 
       C                              G 
You'll never learn to write if you're walkin' 'round cryin' 
           C              G 
And it's a pity that your lover died young, but... 
       Cm                        G 
You'll never get tired of livin' alone."

Verse 

G 
Oh, maybe I could take him to Mexico 
     Bm 
We'd kick our heels in the warm cloudy gulf 
            C 
He'd sing a song about the weather in the Poconos; 
G 
This lover that I don't know 
G 
Then two hearts would pound 'stead of one in the night 
    Bm 
I'd learn to fish with my own line 
           C                              G 
Catch that dream and hope that line would hold 

                 C                        G 
He said, "You'll never learn to fish on a borrowed line 
       C                              G 
You'll never learn to write if you're walkin' 'round cryin' 
           C              G 
And it's a pity that your lover died young, but... 
       Cm                        G 
You'll never get tired of livin' alone." 
      Cm                        G 
No, I never get tired of livin' alone 
             Cm                              G 
Sometimes my feet get cold...when I'm livin' alone...
