| Our conversation | was short and sweet |
| Bm | Am |
| It nearly swept me | off-a my feet. |
| G | C |
| And I’m back in the rain, oh, | oh, |
| G | |
| And you are on dry | land. |
| C | Am |
| You made it there | somehow |
| Bm | Am | G | D |
| You’re a | big girl | now. |
| Bird on the horizon, sittin’ on a fence, |
| He’s singin’ his song for me at his own expense |
| And I’m just like that bird, oh, oh, |
| Singin’ just for you, mm-mm. |
| I hope that you can hear, |
| Hear me singin’ through these tears. |
| Love is so simple, to quote a phrase, |
| You’ve known it all the time, I’m learnin’ it these days . |
| Oh, I know where I can find You, oh, oh, |
| In somebody’s room. m-mm |
| It’s a price I have to pay |
| You’re a big girl all the way. |
| Time is a jet plane, it moves too fast |
| Oh, but what a shame that all we’ve shared can’t last. |
| I can change, I swear, mm-mm |
| See what you can do, mm-mm. |
| I can make it through, |
| You can make it too. |
| A change in the weather can be extreme |
| But it ain’t like changing horses in midstream |
| I’m going out of my mind, mm-mm |
| With a pain that stops and starts, mm-aa |
| Like a corkscrew to my heart |
| Ever since we’ve been apart. |
