I was in [D]Love with you oh be[C*]fore I knew
It meant [G*]more than just wantin' to be with you
I used to [D*]look for o--,ther [E7*]girls that looked like [Run1]you 
But the [D]laws of nature said [C*]forget it son
[G*]Least that's what somebody told me
I [D*]worried about it a [E7*]little bit, but that's [Run1]all.

 (INTRO x2 WITH C bass over guitar Am7)

I dreamt that you were Joan of Arc and 
I was Don Quixote
And everywhere we went the world was tinfoil
But I gave up dreamin' and became a priest
And put it right out of my system
I worried about it a little bit, but that's all

  Chorus:
Now you [Bm]used to play the [A]guitar
We [Run2]worked in a country [Em]band
I [Bm]hung out down on the [A]river bank on [Em7]Sundays
Your [Em*]brother was my [D6]closest friend
He [C]drove a pickup [Bm]truck
He [G*]used to bring me [D*]home sometimes from [Em7]high[A6]school[Em7][A6]

Now I was fifteen oh the very first time
Love broke completely inside me
We were young and we were learning about it together
And we had enough of what we thought we'd need of those
Well known secret fables
We worried about it a little bit, but that's all

I regret that life won't be long enough
To make love to all the women that I'd like to
Or least of all to live with the ones I've loved
But I've never regretted a love affair
Except one but that's all over
I worried about it a little bit, but that's all

Now I heard you lived way up north
Your kids are fighting plenty
And I haven't seen you brother since way last Easter
And if every other girl in the whole wide world
Was just a little bit more like you
I'd worry about it a little bit, but that's all
