I Couldn't Leave You If I Tried
Rodney Crowell

Intro: G F G C

C                                 G
The sun is comin' up and I'm just goin' down
                                  C
Everywhere I look the world keeps turnin' round
                                   G
And though I said I never would be satisfied
       F                G              C
Baby I lied  I couldn't leave you if I tried

Sometimes I get lost out on this sad ol' town
And every bridge I cross just turns me upside down
And every stumblin' step I take back to your side
Hurts my pride  I couldn't leave you if I tried

F
Well I could not walk away  no matter what I say
                                D
I won't be leavin believe it or don't
                  G     G7 
You're all that I want

The tears may fall but after all is said and done
Darlin' please believe me you're the only one
And I'll admit mistakes I've made me realise
Baby I lied  I couldn't leave you if I tried

F
Well I won't be leavin' you no matter what I do
I'm gonna see it through till the end
And do it again

The years may come and friends may go but that's ok
Darlin' you're the only one I need to stay
And though I said I never would be satisfied
Baby I lied  I couldn't leave you if I tried
                          Am      G F G C  
I couldn't leave you if I tried
