THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I MEAN (Kim Richey - Tia Sillers)
performed by Patty Loveless on LONG STRETCH OF LONESOME (1997)
Thanks to Donna kurtj@itexas.net for suggesting the song and for the help with
the lyrics.
D
I feel a cold snap comin', Frost is on the window pane
D G
Trees are green, bees are hummin', But I'm freezing just the same
D
Can't put my finger on it, Where did we lose the flame
D G
We'll both end up broken-hearted, If we don't find that fire again
Am F C G Am F C G
Lately we've been missin' something, And love is wearing at the seams
Am F C G Am F C G D
And you say baby, awe, it ain't nothing, And that's exactly what I mean
D
Come every winter season, Most birds they fly away
D G
It's warm down south, they got no reason, Why they should want to stay
Bb F C Bb F G
When we take love for granted, We wind up empty handed
|Am |F |C |G |
Am F C G Am G F C G
Love is wearing at the seams, And you say baby, awe, it ain't nothing
Am F C G D
And that's exactly what I mean
D
Baby turn off the TV, Come here and hold me tight
D G A
A little heat is all that we need, to bring love back to life
Bm A G D A Bm G D A
Maybe we've been missin' something, And love is wearing at the seams
Bm A G D A Bm G D A
And you say baby, awe, it ain't nothing, And that's exactly what I mean
Bm A G D A D
Oh that's exactly what I mean
