She Couldn't Change Me
MONTGOMERY GENTRY


Intro:  F   Bb   F   Bb...
F                                    Bb                        F    Bb
Sometimes I think what turned her on was my old worn out boots;
F                          Bb                               F    Bb
She wanted her a real cowboy, it was a phase she was goin' through.
F                             Bb                                     F   Bb
Not one week after she moved in I caught her paintin' the bedroom blue;

F                                      Bb                              F   Bb
Brought home a bottle of Pink Chablis, poured out my best home brew.
               C                                     Dm     Bb *
I was sittin' on the porch in my overhauls as she packed her things to leave;
                                C
F...............Bb...
     She changed her mind when she couldn't change me!
                                    F                           Bb
          She changed direction, headed out west;
                                     F                                Bb
          She changed her tune to some hip-hop mess;
              F                 (C)    Dm                           Bb*(rif)
Her dark brown hair went to blonde and her pretty blue eyes went to green:
                                        C       F
          She changed everything when she couldn't change me.

Repeat Intro:  F   Bb   F    Bb
F                                       F            Bb
She was sittin' beside the ocean,... lookin' out at the waves;
F                                         Bb          F    Bb
Watchin' how they keep on rollin',... but always seem the same.
F                                  Bb      F                   Bb
She called and said she'd been thinkin' about all those quiet country nights;
                 F                     Bb   F                             Bb
And what-ever she thought was so wrong with me,... suddenly seemed alright.
               C                                     Dm   Bb*
I was sittin' on the porch in my overhauls when her truck pulled into  view;
                                            C          F
     She said, "I changed my mind when I couldn't change you" .
                                     F                              Bb
          She changed dirrection, headed back home;
                                     F          Bb
          She changed her tune, it's all Haggard and Jones;
                   F                (C)     Bb                             F
     Had her dark brown hair pulled back and the bluest eyes you ever seen:
                                     C                                   F
          She changed her mind when she couldn't me!

                                    F                                     Bb
          She changed direction, she's back in my arms;
                                 F           Bb
          She thought it through, but had a change of heart;
                           F              (C)     Dm                  Bb*(rif)
       She said, "I guess when you love someone, you just gotta' let it be" :
                                     C           F..............Bb
          She changed her mind when she couldn't change me...yeah-yeah:
                                  C          F..............Bb   F   Bb
          She changed it all when she couldn't change me...
                                          F.............Bb   F   Bb   F
          She couldn't change me!
