Chords for Mary Chapin Carpenter - Quittin' Time [1991]

[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
We were [G] so connected that you were [A] a part of me.
_ _ _ [D] _
Now I feel [G] an emptiness right to [A] the heart of me.
When Mary [Bb] Chapin [F] Carpenter writes these [Dm] songs, they're so cold.
They're just so together.
[D] Well, Mary's [Bb]
song, You Never [F] Had It So Good, I Never Had It So Bad,
when the video was running in primetime, [Eb] you know,
_ every time it would come on, I would [Bb] get up and dance around my house,
and I'd sing, You Never Had It [Fm] So Good, Babe.
It was just the most complete piece of work.
It was this [Bb] beautiful piece of work, and it just said everything I'd ever [Ebm] wanted to say
to this [Fm] one person I had in my mind that she wrote about.
I know she wrote about it.
[Bb] And that's what being a good writer [B] is all about. _ _ _ _
She's just [Dm] one of those _ [G] _ people [E] who's got it.
Chapin [Abm] was born writing songs.
[B] The ideas just come, and they're eloquent, and they're wonderful.
You don't [Em] hear a lot of angst or worry from Chapin about songs.
She just [Bbm] does it.
[B] _ [Db] _ [D] _ _ _
[G] We've had a great time playing [A] for _ _ you.

_ _ _ [D] _ You were [G] so connected that you [A] were a part of me. _
_ _ _ [D] Now I [G] feel an emptiness right to [A] the heart of me.
_ _ _ [Bm] But you [A] [D] pretend, and I pretend [G] that [D] everything [A] is fine.
_ [Bm] I know [A] we should [D] be [G] at an end.
[Bm] It's so [G] hard, and, [A] baby, well, it's [D] quitting time.
Oh, _ oh, [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ oh.
Hey, baby, I [G] am running out of things to [A] say. _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] Please don't hate [G] me.
This feeling just won't [A] go away. _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ Now we're [G] spending all our time calling a [A] fantasy. _ _
_ _ _ [D] Just _ [G] trying to keep in mind the way [A] to stop breathing. _
