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 (x2, "ohs" on the 2nd time)

                 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
