[INTRO]

Em A7 D A

[VERSE 1]

Billy was a small town loner

Who never did dream

A A7

Of ever leaving southern Arizona

D A7

Or ever hearing wedding bells ring

He never had a lot of luck with the ladies

But he sure had a lot of good working skills

A A7

Never cared about climbing any ladder

D A

He knew the way in a small café

A A7

Found the will; he met Miss Bonnie and a

Little bit of her was a little too much

Bm Em D/F#

A few movies and a few months later

The feeling got strong enough

They didn’t own a car

A7 D G

So it must have been love

A A7 D

That drove him uptown for a diamond;

That’s when he started goin’

[CHORUS]

Over the line

Working overtime

A A7

To give her things just to hear her say she don’t

D A

Deserve them, but he loves her, and he just

Kept going overboard

Over the limit to afford

A A7 D

To give her things he knew she wanted

‘Cause without her where would he be?

A A7 D A D A

See, it’s not for him; she is his only need

[VERSE 2]

Ring on her finger and one on the ladder

A new promotion every now and then

A A7

Bonnie worked until she couldn't tie her apron

D A

Then stayed at home and had the first of two children

And my, how the time did fly

The babies grew up and moved away

A A7

Left ‘em sitting on the front porch rocking

D A

And Billy watching Bonnie’s hair turn gray

And every once in a while, you could

See him get up and he’d head downtown

Bm Em D/F#

‘Cause he heard about something she wanted

And it just had to be found

A A7

Didn’t matter how simple or how much

D G

It was love

A A7

And boy, ain’t that love just something

D G A

When it’s strong enough to keep a man goin’

[CHORUS]

Over the line

Working overtime

A A7

To give her things just to hear her say she don’t

D A

Deserve them, but he loves her, and he just

Kept going overboard

Over the limit to afford

A A7 D

To give her things he knew she wanted

‘Cause without her where would he be?

A A7 D A D A

See, it’s not for him; she is his only need

[CODA]

Over the line,

Working overtime

A D A

She is his only need

Overboard

Over the limit

A D

She is his only need
