Intro: GC
C So long we've been married G Life's burdens we carried CG Though faith kept us humble and made our love true C But plans that we make up G Someone seems to break up CGC Oh darlin what else can we do?
Chorus: F We may have to leave here C To find peace of mind, dear GC Someplace where we can live a life of our own FC I know you love me And happy we could be GC If some folks would leave us alone
C When I go out walkin G Theres lots of loose talkin CG They say we're unhappy and we'll drift apart C But darlin' it's not true G Because I still love you CGC And I do with all of my heart
(Repeat Chorus)
Break: CGCG CGCGC
C They say you are leavin G That you are deceivin CG But you tell me they say the same about me C Oh, but we'll show them they're wrong G That loose talk can do harm CGC And hope that the truth they will see
