INTRO: G D C

I don’t buy the lines in magazines that tell me what I ought to be
Don’t base my life on a movie screen. I don’t fit the mold society has planned
Don’t need to be nineteen years old or starve myself for some weight I’m told
Will turn men’s heads down that road and I thank God I finally know just who I am
I ain’t a movie star. They never see the view from where they are
And this old town may be as far as I’m going
What he’ll hold tonight in his hands he swears is so much better than
Anything that this old world can show him

CHORUS
I’m a real (real) live (live) woman
In love with this man I see lying here next to me
Lost in the way that’s he’s holding
This real (real) live (live) woman
In the arms of a man where I’ll fall asleep knowing
There’s nothing on earth he loves more than
This real (real) live (live) woman

I work nine to five and can’t relate to millionaires who somehow fate
Has smiled upon and fortune made their common lives a better place to be
I no longer justify the reasons for the way that I behave
I offer no apologizes for the things that I believe and say
And I like it that way

REPEAT CHORUS

Capo 4th fret

Intro: D G

You used to soothe me
You used to swear with
Heart crossed conviction
That you’d be there
Where are you now

Chorus:
Well I’m good-one of a kind
But I would rather be two
And I still speak my mind
But I miss talking with you
And I could hem and haw
But I’ll just cut right through
I don’t need nothing baby
Nothing but you

Well, I lit a candle
It’s burning still
Most every night on
My window sill
Where are you now

Repeat Chorus

Weren’t we something back then
Thick as thieves
Who would have ever thought that
You and me
Would let forever come to
Used to be

Repeat Chorus

After (A#)taking every detour,
Gettin’ (A#)lost and losin’ track,
So that (F)even if I wanted,
I could (F)not find my way back.
After (A#)drivin’ out the memory,
Of the (A#)way things might have been,
After (C7)I’d forgotten all about us,
The song remembers (F)when. (A#)

VERSE 2:
We were (C7)rollin’ through the Rockies,
We were (C7)up above the clouds,
When a (C7)station out of Jackson played that (F)song.
And it (C7)seemed to fit the moment,
And the (C7)moment seemed to freeze,
When we (C7)turned the music up and sang a-(F)long.

And there (A#)was a God in Heaven,
And the (A#)world made perfect sense,
We were (F)young and were in love,
And we were (F)easy to convince.
We were (A#)headed straight for Eden,
It was (A#)just around the bend,
And (C7)though I have forgotten all about it,
The song remembers (F)when.

BRDIGE:
I guess (A#)something must have happened,
And we (A#)must have said good-(Dm)bye.
And my (G7)heart must have been broken,
Though (C7)I can’t recall just why, (m.c.)
The song remembers (F)when. (A#) (F) (A#)

VERSE 3:
Well, for (C7)all the miles between us,
And for (C7)all the time that’s past,
You would (C7)think I haven’t gotten very (F)far.
And I (C7)hope my hasty heart,
Will for-(C7)give me just this once,
If I (C7)stop to wonder how on earth (F)you are.

But that’s (A#)just a lot of water,
Under-(A#)neath a bridge I burned,
And there’s (F)no use in backtracking,
Around (F)corners I have turned.
Still I (A#)guess some things we bury,
Are just (A#)bound to rise again,
For (C7)even if the whole world has forgotten,
The song remembers (F)when.

ENDING:
Yeah, and (C7)even if the whole world has forgotten, (n.c.)
The song remembers (F)when. (A#) (F) (A#) (F)

[C(add9)]I’ve been livin’ on the wrong side of Memphis
Really breakin’ away this time
A [C(add9)]full tank of gas and a ’69 Tempest
takin’ me to that Nashville sign
No turnin’ back, I’ve come too far
[C(add9)]Headed down 40 with my old guitar
The same Graceland and that’s a fact
And [C(add9)]I ain’t driving no pink Cadillac

I’ve been livin’ on the wrong side of Memphis
Gonna bronze these blue suede shoes
these cowboy boots are gettin’ kinda restless
They ain’t got a single thing to loose

Well, I’ve had this dream from a tender age
callin’ my name from the Opry stage
I can hear ‘em sing loud and clear
two hundred miles and I’ll be there

I’ve been livin’ on the wrong side of Memphis
Really breakin’ away this time
A full tank of gas and a ’69 Tempest
takin’ me to that Nashville sign
Yes, I’ve been livin’ on the wrong side of Memphis
Gonna bronze these blue suede shoes
these cowboy boots are gettin’ kinda restless
They ain’t got a single thing to loose

Bridge

I’ve been livin’ on the wrong side of Memphis
I’ve been livin’ on the wrong side of Memphis
I got my cowboy boots and my rhinestone suit
I’ve been livin’ on the wrong side of Memphis
ooh, yeah yeah yeah
A full tank of gas and a ’69 Tempest
Takin’ me to that Nashville sign

Then strum individual strings on the C chord.

Yesterday I thought that I walked alone
And that love was just a memory
But a nightingale followed me back home
And my love was waiting there for me
I had lost my faith as lovers often do
When the storm clouds gather over head
But the nightingale sang a note so true
That I knew I’d lost my fear instead
And to think that I said love was for fools
And that time would never heal these old wounds
But the nightingale saved a prayer for me
In the twilight he played a faithful tune
I have heard the lark over in the vale
And I’ve heard the lonesome whippo-will
But the sweetest song is the nightin-gale’s
And I know I’ll never get my fill
And to think that I said love was for fools
And that time would never heal these old wounds
But the nightingale saved a prayer for me
In the twilight he played a faithful tune
But the nightingale saved a prayer for me
In the twilight he played a faithful tune

Capo 3rd fret

Intro: G D/F# Em7 C9

I blew out all my pl[D/F#]ans
The world fell in my hands
The day that I beg[D/F#]an
Trying to love you

The secrets I have [D/F#]kept
The nights I haven’t slept
I’ve laughed until I’ve [D/F#]wept
Trying to love you

Chorus 1:

[G/B]Trying to love you…No one’s come as close or gone so far
[G/B]Trying to love you…I’ve lost and found myself in who you are
[G/B]Trying to love you…So easy and so hard
Trying to love you

[D/F#]
I’ve watched myself [D/F#]get stuck
Squandered all my luck
Almost given [D/F#]up
Trying to love you

Chorus 2:
Trying to love you…It broke my heart, it’s chipped away my pride
Trying to love you…Everytime I’d see that faultline slide
Trying to love you…I’ve crossed the great divide
Trying to love you

Break: C9 G D/F#

then: (where guitar solo starts)
[D/F#] [D/F#]
Chorus 3:
Trying to love you…I’ve screamed your name, I’ve slammed a thousand
doors
Trying to love you…I’ve worn a million miles across the floor
Trying to love you…Still I could not ignore
Trying to love you

[D/F#]
It’s pulled the best f[D/F#]rom me
For all the world to see
I guess I’ll always [D/F#]be
Trying to love you

C9 x32030 or x32033

Listen to the song for the timing of the snapped stops during the chorus. It
snaps exactly on the first beat of the second measure of each line. I believe
this song is usually played with Capo I (eliminate all #’s), but I also like
the way it sounds with Capo III. Enjoy!

Intro: A# G# D# A# (x4)

VERSE 1:

After you came in late last night
You said you’d been alone
Just needed some room to clear your mind
A little time away from home

VERSE 2:

Told me you were out on highway nine
Down by the river bend
But this town has ears and this town has eyes
And a whole lot of so called friends

CHORUS:

G# D#(stop) A#
Oooooh that ain’t the way I heard it
G# D#(stop) A#
Ooh that ain’t the way I heard it

VERSE 3:

Don’t you think I wanna trust every word you say
Don’t you think I want to look in your eyes
And feel suspicion slip away
When you say you got nothing to hide

CHORUS:

G# D#(stop) A#
Oooooh that ain’t the way I heard it
G# D#(stop) A#
Ooh that ain’t the way I heard it

VERSE 4:

Throw me out a lifeline baby
Offer me a grain of truth
Treat me with a little bit of dignity
I think I deserve that much from you

VERSE 5:

Give me one reason for stayin’ cool
Tell me they’re no good liars
Don’t make me play your pathetic fool
Baby, show me that old desire

INSTRUMENTAL (Intro): A# G# D# A# (x4)

VERSE 1:

After you came in late last night
You said you’d been alone
Just needed some room to clear your mind
A little time away from home

VERSE 2:

Told me you were out on highway nine
Down by the river bend
But this town has ears and this town has eyes
And a whole lot of so called friends

ENDING

G# D#(stop) A#
Oooooh that ain’t the way I heard it
G# D#(stop) A# G#
Ooh that ain’t the way I heard it
That ain’t the way I heard it
That ain’t the way I heard it
That ain’t the way I heard it

Outro:
Continue A# G# pattern and fade

For a clean ending, you might choose to end on D#
