G                       C              G 
Just thought I'd have a little fun and paint the town 
C        G                 D7       G 
I always said someday I'll walk the line 
                       C              G 
But now she's gone and I'm the bluest guy around 
C          G           D7            G 
And that's not exactly what I had in mind 

                       C                  G 
I thought that I could play the field and be a clown 
C           G                   D7   G 
I broke the heart that loved me many times 
                C                       G 
Yes I know that I'm the biggest fool in town 
C          G           D7            G 
And that's not exactly what I had in mind 

  C                             G 
I didn't mean for things to get so out of hand 
                          D7    G 
I always meant to make it up in time 
                       C              G 
But now she's gone she hates the very sight of me 
C          G           D7            G 
And that's not exactly what I had in mind 

  C                                 G 
I told myself go play around you're young and free 
                            D7    G 
Too late I found that I was oh so blind 
                  C           G 
I lost the love I never did deserve at all 
C          G           D7            G 
But that's not exactly what I had in mind 

C         G           D7            G 
No that's not exactly what I had in mind
