[Intro]
C#m E A E
[Verse 1]
A
All I ever wanted
E
Was a walk down the road
A E
With you there holding my arm
C#m E
But the hoot owl moans
A E
For me all alone
Tell me pretty baby
B E
Are you really gonna break my heart?
[Verse 2]
A
Has it all been a lie
E
No I can't believe that
A E
Tell me what I hear isn't true
C#m E
Is the owl in the oak tree
A E
The only one here with me
Tell me pretty baby
B
Are you really gonna break my heart?
[Instrumental]
C#m E A E B A
[Verse 3]
A
Is it death or livin
E
That scares me the most
A E
Or is it just plain bein alone
C#m E
Seems I'm always alone
A E
When that hoot owl moans
Tell me pretty baby
B
Are you really gonna break my heart?
[Chorus 1]
C#m E
Don't call me, don't write me
A E
And I'll leave you alone
A
So we can forget what we had
C#m E
The owl can console me
A E
With his midnight tune
But I don't think I've ever
B
Felt so sad
[Chorus 2]
E
So I draw all the curtains
And I lock all the doors
A
And I dream of that walk
E
Down the road
C#m E
But the hoot owl awakes me
A E
And a cold shiver shakes me
Tell me pretty baby
B
Are you really gonna break my heart?
