Standard (EADGBE)

Or even if a quart of milk were still a quart

And the hours well, I don't mind

How they creep on by like an old love of mine

Its the years that simply disappear that are doing me in

Guess I married too young, yeah nineteen was just too young

But sometimes you meet someone and you;re guts just burn

Its not that I dont love him anymore

Its just that when I hear him coming through that front door

My heart doesnt race like it did once before

But I got a horse out in the country

I get to see him every second Sunday

He comes when I call him Yeah he knowshis name

One day I'll saddle up and the two of us will ride away

The weather I could almost stand

If the sun would shine a little brighter

Or even if the sun would shine at all

But lately it seems to me that this life has lost its mystery

and these cold fall mornings seem to bite just a little bit harder

All my friends have settled down

Becoming mothers and fathers without a sound

Except for Cathy, she bought a one way subway ticket

and left us all behind

Chorus

This town wouldnt be so bad

If a girl could trust her instincts

Or even if a girl could trust a boy
