Gordon Lightfoot - Can't Depend on Love
CAPO: 2nd Fret
[INTRO:] G C
[VERSE 1:]
G Bm
I spent most of my life outside in the driving rain
Em Am7
I was only trying to get by with some of life's amenities
G
Well, nothing's free
Bm Am7 G/B B7 C
I got more than I bargained for, now it's plain to see
G/B Am G C
I can't depend on love to defend me
[VERSE 2:]
G Bm
It took most of my time to do what never was done
Em Am7
I was on the outside of an inside kind of love that now is gone
G
Come right or wrong
Bm Am7 G/B B7 C
It was laid to rest that way, I hate to be unkind
G/B Am G
Pretending is for strangers who don't know you
[INSTRUMENTAL:] F C F G E7 C
[VERSE 3:]
G Bm
I spent most of my life outside in the driving rain
Em Am7
I was in some one-horse town just waiting for a plane to take me back
G
Now where's that at
Bm Am7 G/B B7 C
I paid the price, well ain't that nice, knowing I'm so free
G/B Am G
I can't depend on love to defend me
Bm Am7 G/B B7 C
I got more than I bargained for, now it's plain to see
G/B Am G
I can't depend on love to defend me
