_ Dearest darling, _ _ I had to write to say that I won't [A] be home [D] _ anymore
For something [C] _
[G] happened _ to me _ while I was driving home
And I'm not [A] the same _ _ [D] anymore
Oh, I [C] was only _ _ 24 [Am] hours from _ Tulsa
[C] _ _ _ _ _
_ Only a day away from your _ [Am] _ _ arms
_ [Dm] I saw a welcoming [G] light _ [B] and stopped to rest [G] for the night
[C] And that is [G] when I _ saw her _
As I pulled in outside of the small [A]
motel
She [D] was there, and so [G] I walked up _ to her _
Asked where I could get something to eat
[A] And she showed me [D] where
[G] Oh, I was [C] _ only _ 24 [Am] hours from Tulsa
_ _ [Em] _ _ _
[C] Only _ _ a day away [Am] from your arms
_ _ _ _ [F] She took me to the [G] cafe
_ _ [F] I asked her if [G] she would stay
She said, _ _ okay
_ Oh,
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ I [C] was _ only _ 24 hours from _ Tulsa _ _ _ _
_ _ Only a day away from your [Am] _ _ _ arms
_ [F]
The jeep I [G] started to blame
_ [A]
And that I'm building [G] today
_ As we were dancing _ _ closely _
All of a sudden I lost control [A] as I held [G] her down
And I caressed her, _ kissed her, blow her
I died before I would let [A] her out of [D] my house
_ [G] I was [C]
only _ _ 24 [Am] hours from Tulsa
_ _ _ [C] _ _
Only _ a day away from your _ [Am] _ _ arms
I [F]
hate to do [G] this to you
But [Cm]
I love [G] somebody
_ _ What [Gm]
can _ I [G] do?
And I can never, _ _ never, _ never _ _ _ go _ [C] _
home again _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Dm] _ [Am] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ [N] _ _ _ _
