The timing is probably off, as is exactly how many notes are played. I'm not exactly sure about the tuning (I've never seen them play live) but it sounds right. Lyrics: Yes he wore a cowboy hat Each bone broken in his back All the money and all the gold Couldn't buy my love at eight years old I'm in love with a girl whose wrong for me Ask her and she will disagree Her father was a smalltown man With smalltown dreams and small town hands But, I was there when there was nobody home Please believe me when I say I don't know Gone for good infact but what does it mean Year to year they always _______? Is it enough to just look at her Whole world on a silver platter What's that but that for me If I was set it's consience free Won round one but it's not over He don't care cause he don't know her Too long it's not the same If I could lend any shame But, I was there when there was nobody home Please believe me when I say I don't know Gone for good infact but what does it mean Year to year they always___________? You've always been So much easier to see Don't hide from me That which I've already seen You lie to me More than occasionally Don't lie to me You lied to me I'm as high as I'll ever be I don't mind...stay and see They've all gone...why don't we Lonely as...you and me But I'm as high as I'll ever be Lead her on...last to see The past is gone..only for me I don't lie (don't lie don't lie don't lie) Ohhhhhh... I was there when there was nobody home Please believe me when I say I don't know Gone for good infact but what does it mean Year to year they always ___________?
