C                             Em
I can hear you smiling on the phone 
F                           C
Bet you thought that I'd be crying 
                             Em
Go on and tell yourself I've done you wrong 
       F                   Am G7
But we both know you'll be ly-ing
 
Dm                       Em
You don't have to have a reason 
        F               G7
If your heart is set on leaving 
 C                                Em
But you'll remember on some rainy day 
         F
A little simple word or thought 
     G7
Or a birthday card I bought
 
        C                          Em
Just surrender cause you can't get away 
    Dm           F
You never can be free 
       G7                    C
From a memory like I'm gonna be 
                                 Em
That greener grass you think you see 

          F           C
Is just a high heeled illusion 
                         Em
Better count the cost of being free 
      F                     Am G7
Is it worth all that you're lo-sing 
Dm                          Em
It may be over but it's not ending 

F                              G7
Cause there's one thing you're forgetting 
       C                      Em
You'll remember on some rainy day 
       F
Little things we used to do 
          G7
Like that night in Baton Rouge 
 
     C                             Em
Just surrender cause you can't get away 
    Dm           F
You never can be free 
       G7                    C
From a memory like I'm gonna be 
Dm
When it all comes back someday 
Em                 F
Don't be surprised on some lonely night 
G7
When you close your eyes 
 
     C                             Em
Just surrender cause you can't get away 
    Dm           F
You never can be free 
       G7                    C
From a memory like I'm gonna be
