[Intro]
A E7 D E7
A
[Verse 1]
A E7 A
Once upon a time, I had a girl
E7 A
Once upon a time, I knew her love
D
I've stood and watched her walk away
A F#m
And all that I could do was pray
D E7 A
And beg her not to go
D E7 A
Mmm, mmm-mmm, mmm
[Verse 2]
A E7 A
Once upon a time, I knew her kiss
E7 A
I never dreamed that it would end like this
D
But things don't always turn out right
A F#m
And that's why I'm alone tonight
D E7 A
With my sorrow and me
D E7 A
With my sorrow and me
[Bridge]
D
I feel like running through the door
A
And going where they're at
D
But I can't stand to sit and watch him
A E7
Kissing her like that
[Verse 3]
A E7 A
Once upon a time, she loved me so
E7 A
Once upon a time, I let her go
D
Here I sit with the blues
A F#m
And there's nothing I can do
D E7 A
But hope she returns someday
D E7 A
Why did she go away?
D E7 A
Mmm, mmm-mmm, mmm
D E7 A
Mmm, mmm-mmm, mmm

Calling all hearts

Calling all hearts

Be on the lookout for my baby

With a pretty face and big blue eyes

Warm red lips as her disguise

She's armed with a heart that's cold as ice

She's been known to hang around the honky-tonks downtown

She'll steal your heart and break it

Then, she'll disappear

Then, there'll be another victim of her hit-and-run affairs

[Intro]
F G7
C
[Verse 1]
C Dm
Guess what I've been doing since you've gone
F G7 C
I've been missing you for, oh, so long
Dm
Alone at night without you by my side
F G7 C
I've lost your love because of foolish pride
[Chorus]
N.C. C
And I've been climbing the walls without you
G7
A fool to ever doubt you
F G7 C
Mr. Memory's my middle name
N.C. C
And I've been climbing the walls around me
G7
Visions of you surround me
F G7 C
I know now that I'm the one to blame
[Bridge]
F G7
C
[Verse 2]
C Dm
I've rearranged the room most every night
F G7 C
I've even kissed your picture once or twice
Dm
The sun quit shining on my window pane
F G7 C
If I don't get you back, I'll go insane
[Chorus]
N.C. C
And I keep climbing the walls without you
G7
A fool to ever doubt you
F G7 C
Mr. Memory's my middle name
N.C. C
And I keep climbing the walls, that's certain
G7
To push out all the hurtin'
F G7 C
I know now that I'm the one to blame

[Intro]
G A7 D
[Verse 1]
D A7 D
Down these city streets I walk tall, I walk proud
A7 D
With a 40 dollar shirt, my head above the crowd
G D G
The people of this town tip their hats as I walk by
D A7 D
They nod their heads and say, "There goes a lucky guy"
G A7 D
They don't know I'm living the big lie
[Verse 2]
D A7 D
Everything I want I have and ten times more
A7 D
Everything but you and you're all I'm living for
G D G
Too proud to ask you back, too hurt to even try
D A7 D
While the outside of me laughs, on the inside, I cry
G A7 D
Everyday, I'm living the big lie
A B7 E
[Verse 3]
E B7 E
This smile that I wear keeps the wrongs I've done inside
B7 E
But a man can't face himself, too much guilt to hide
A E A
I wish I could be free from this never-ending lie
E B7 E
But the risk of losing face makes the price much too high
A B7 E
So I'll go on living the big lie
E
The big lie
E
The big lie
