(Verse)

I’ve been so many places in my [G7/B]life and time
[Bm/A]I’ve sung a lot of songs, I’ve made some bad rhyme
I’ve acted out my [Eb/G]life in stages
With ten thousand people[Eb/G] watching
But we’re alone
[Eb/Bb]And i’m singing this song for you

(Verse)

I know your image of me is what I [G7/B]hope to be
[Bm/A]I treated you unkindly but girl can’t you see
There’s no one more impo[Eb/G]rtant to me
So darling can’t you [Eb/G]please ssee through me
Cause we’re alone [Eb/Bb]now
[Ab/Bb]And I’m singing this song for you

(Bridge)

You taught me precious [G7/B]secrets of the
[Eb/Bb]Truth, withholding nothing
You ame out in [Eb/Bb]front and I was hidin[Ab/Eb]g[G7/D]
But now ‘m so much [G7/B]better so if
[Eb/Bb]My words don’t come together
Listen to the melody [Eb/G]cause my love is in there hiding

(Verse)

I love you in a place where there’s no [G7/B]space or time
[Cm/Bb]I love you for my life cause you’re a friend of mine
And when my life is [Eb/G]over
Remebmer when we were [Eb/G]together
We were alone
[Eb/B]And I was singing my song for you

(Verse)

I love you in a place where there’s no [G7/B]space or time
[Cm/Bb]I love you for my life cause you’re a friend of mine
And when my life is [Eb/G]over
Remebmer when we were [Eb/G]together
We were alone
[Eb/B]And I was singing my song for you

(Outro)

Yes we were [Eb/Bb]alone and I was singing this song for you
We were [Eb/Gb]alone and I was singing my song
Singing my song
Singing my [Ab/Eb]song
Singing my song
Singing my song

Let’s have a hand for that young cowboy
And wish him better luck next time.
I hope we’ll see him up in Fargo
Or somewhere farther down the line
This time he sure drew a bad one
One that nobody could ride
By the way he pulled his hat on
You know he’d be there for the fight

CHORUS:
And it’s the classic contra- diction
The unavoidable aff- liction.
And it don’t take much to pre- dict, son
The way it always goes
‘Cause one day she says she loves you
And the next she’ll be tired of you
N’ push’ll always come to shove you
On that midnight rode- o

INSTRUMENTAL

He almost made it to the buzzer
Somehow he gave up in the end
He put one hand around the other
And let that pick-up man on in
It was his last chance to ride it
Now he’ll have to move a- long
But he knows back in his mind, that
He won’t be away for long

CHORUS

So let’s have a hand for that young cowboy
And wish him better luck next time
I hope we’ll see him up in Fargo
Or somewhere farther down the line

These are your friends, but are they real friends
Do they love you the same as me
Are you sure that this is where you want to be

You seem in such a hurry to leave this kind of life
You’ve caused so many pain and misery
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/w/willie_nelson/are_you_sure_crd_ver_2.html )
Look around you, take a good look
And just between you and me
Are you sure that this is where you want to be[D/F#]

Don’t let my tears persuade you, I had hoped I wouldn’t cry
But lately, teardrops seem a part of me

Oh, look around you, take a good look
At all the local used-to-be’s
Are you sure that this is where you want to be

This is the other tab put to the words to make it easier to play-TMaull

As you sit there in your loneliness confused as you must be
I’m sure a dozen questions come to mind
And if you’re wondering why I left you after all you’ve done for me
I guess you’ll have to blame it on the times

The many times you had your way no matter what the cost
And the many times you took for granted love you now have lost
And if I’ve hurt you darling I don’t mean to be unkind
I guess you’ll have to blame it on the times

That small conceited world of yours could never understand
That to want to stand alone is not a crime
And if for one time in my life I’m acting like a man
I guess you’ll have to blame it on the times

Blame it on the many times a hiding place I’d seek
Afraid to say what’s on my mind and ashamed for being weak
So if at last I’m seeing after so long being blind
I suppose you’ll have to blame it on the times
