She Couldnt Change Me

Sometimes I think what turned her on was my old worn out boots;
She wanted her a real cowboy, it was a phase she was goin' through.
Not one week after she moved in I caught her paintin' the bedroom blue;
Brought home a bottle of Pink Chablis, poured out my best home brew.

I was sittin' on the porch in my overhauls as she packed her things to
leave;
F...............Bb...
She changed her mind when she couldn't change me!
She changed direction, headed out west;
She changed her tune to some hip-hop mess;
Dm Bb*(rif)
Her dark brown hair went to blonde and her pretty blue eyes went
to green:
She changed everything when she couldn't change me.
Repeat Intro: F Bb F Bb
She was sittin' beside the ocean,... lookin' out at the waves;
Watchin' how they keep on rollin',... but always seem the same.
She called and said she'd been thinkin' about all those quiet country
nights;
And what-ever she thought was so wrong with me,... suddenly seemed alright.
Bb*
I was sittin' on the porch in my overhauls when her truck pulled into
view;
She said, "I changed my mind when I couldn't change you" .
She changed dirrection, headed back home;
She changed her tune, it's all Haggard and Jones;
Had her dark brown hair pulled back and the bluest eyes you ever
seen:
She changed her mind when she couldn't me!
Solo: (first four-line verse resolving into) Bb...
She changed dirrection, she's back in my arms;
She thought it through, but had a change of heart;
Dm Bb*(rif)
She said, "I guess when you love someone, you just gotta' let it
be" :
F..............Bb
She changed her mind when she couldn't change me...yeah-yeah:
F..............Bb F Bb
She changed it all when she couldn't change me...
F.............Bb F Bb F
She couldn't change me!
