[Verse 1]
C                 F                Em
I loved you but I left you back in Knoxville,
       F            G                 C
It was easy, I just walked on out the door,
C                F               Em
Sleepin' was the one time it was peaceful,
      F                  G          C    Cadd4  C
And I could not take the talking anymore.


[Verse 2]
C              F              Em
Cigarettes and secrets in the morning
F              G                    C
Coffee's awful strong this far down South
C                F         Em
Sometimes it was easier to kiss you
        F                   G                C     Cadd4  C Cadd4  C Cadd4
Than to hear the truth that came out of your mouth


[Chorus 1]
F                       G
I thought you was gonna stay the same
    C             G         F
And love me even though I'm strange
F                   G
I told you when you took my name
C       Bb          F
I ain't never gonna change
                    C      Cadd4  C  Cadd4
I ain't never gonna change


[Verse 3]
C                F               Em
Loved you when I met you back in high school
F                G             C  Cadd4  C  Cadd4  C
Laughed at every stupid joke I made
C                F           Em
Lately I've been livin' in a barroom
  F                  G              C     Cadd4  C
I thought I might've died if I'd've stayed


[Chorus 2]
  F                     G
I thought you was gonna be my girl
    C                   F
And we would never be estranged
F               G
But we are all alone in this world
C       Bb          F
I ain't never gonna change
                    C      Cadd4  C  Bb  F
I ain't never gonna change


[Instrumental]

[Outro]
  F                     G
I thought you was gonna stay the same
    C                       F
And love me even though I'm strange
F                   G
I told you when you took my name
C       Bb          F
I ain't never gonna change
   C       Bb          F
No I ain't never gonna change
C       Bb          F
I ain't never gonna change
C
