G

[Verse]
                                              C
What if your father has a stroke when you are ten
G                          C            D
Sits like a rag doll, wheelchair in the den
Bm                C
You start failing school
Bm             C
Breaking every rule
D                    G
Pretty soon you're a bum

[Verse]
                                      C
Then one day you meet a girl at first sight
G                            C                D
Both stand speechless in the hall through the night
Bm                    C
What ever happened to her
          Bm                 C
There are traces of what she were
    D              G
She wanted to be a nun

[Verse]
                                        C
Both of you begin to cautiously whisper words
    G                             C         D
You sit together chirping, little tiny love birds
Bm                 C
Who knows what you said
   Bm                          C
If only you could touch her in bed
    D                G
She certainly is the one

[Chorus]
F                      G
Time passes by and you ruin it
F                    C          G
Before your eyes you are losing it
F                        G
How can you get what you need from her
F                    C        G
Now you become just a weed to her
C   F           Em    G
I'm someone who loves you
C   F           Em    Dm    G  F  G  C
I'm someone who loves you

[Verse]
G                                      C
That was years ago, now the New Mexico hills
    G                                C         D
You sometimes describe to her, heavy telephone bills
Bm                 C
She lives way back east
     Bm                         C
Says can't you keep in touch at least
D                  G
You don't call her up

[Verse]
                                  C
Deep in the heart of the life you live
G                           C             D
Tenderly you treasure every kiss that you give
Bm                    C
Don't think about her much
Bm               C
Kicked away that crutch
   D               G
So you could walk alone

[Chorus]
F                         G
By now you know you can't ruin it
F                     C          G
Just that one day you stop doing it
C   F           Em    G
I'm someone who loves you
C   F           Em    Dm    G  F  G  C
I'm someone who loves you
