[Bb] [F]
[Bb]
Just thought I'd have [Eb] a little fun [Bb] and paint the town
[Eb]
I always [Bb] said [F] someday I'll walk [Bb] the line
But now I know [Eb] I was the biggest [Bb] fool in town
[Eb] And [Bb] that's not exactly [F] what I [Bb] had in mind
I [Eb] told myself go play around, [Bb] you're young and free
[Eb] But [Bb] I played around [F] one too [Bb] many times
So now she's gone, [Eb] she hates the very [Bb] sight of [Eb] me
And [Bb] that's not exactly [F] what I [Bb] had in mind
[Eb] I [Bb]
[F] [Bb]
thought that I [Eb] could play the field [Bb] and be a clown
[Eb] I broke the [Bb] heart [F] that loved me many [Bb]
times
Now she's gone [Eb] and I'm the [Bb] bluest guy around
[Eb] [Cm] And [Bb] that's not exactly [F] what I [Bb] had in mind
I [Eb] didn't mean for things to get [Bb] so out of hand
[Eb] I [Bb] always meant [F] to make it up [Bb] in time
[Eb] But [Bb] now she hates me [Eb] and the things for [Bb] which I [Eb] stand
And [Bb] that's not exactly [F]
what I had [Bb] in mind
[Eb]
No, [Bb] that's not exactly [F]
what I [Eb] had in mind
[Cm] [Bb]
