[Strophe]
Bm               Am7 
 Our conversation  was short and sweet 
Bm                 Am7 
 It nearly swept me  off-a my feet. 
        G                   C 
And I'm back in the rain, oh 
                   G        C 
And you are on dry land, 
                      Am7 
You made it there somehow 
Bm7        Am7      D7/F# G       D/F# 
  You're a big girl now.
[Strophe]
Bm                    Am7 
 Bird on the horizon, sittin' on fence 
Bm                           Am7 
 He's singin' his song for me at his own expense 
        G                   C 
And I'm just like that bird, oh, 
                 G        C 
Singin' just for you 
                     Am7 
I hope that you can hear, 
Bm7        Am7    D7/F#         G          D/F# 
  Hear me singin' through these tears.
[Strophe]
Bm                     Am7 
  Time is a jet plane, it moves too fast 
Bm                          Am7 
  Oh, but what a shame that all we've shared can't last. 
      G                C 
I can change, I swear, oh 
                 G       C 
See what you can do 
              Am7 
I can make it through, 
Bm7       Am7  D7/F# G       D/F# 
  You can make it    too.
[Strophe]
Bm                  Am7 
  Love is so simple, to quote a phrase, 
Bm                                  Am7 
  You've known it all the time, I'm learnin' it these days . 
      G                          C 
Oh, I know where I can find you, oh, 
              G       C 
In somebody's room. 
                       Am7 
It's a price I have to pay 
Bm7        Am7      D7/F#   G          D/F# 
  You're a big girl all the way.
[Strophe]
Bm                       Am7 
  A change in the weather is known to be extreme 
Bm                                 Am7 
  But what's the sense in changing horses in midstream? 
          G               C 
I'm going out of my mind, oh 
                 G                 C 
With a pain that stops and starts, 
                       Am7 
Like a corkscrew to my heart 
Bm7   Am7         D7/F# G       D/F# 
 Ever since we've been apart.
