Sometimes When I Get To Thinkin chords
A D E  D A E A
ASometimes I recall what Eothers have Asaid
Love is for lovers in Dlove and full Agrown,
Life's for the Dliving and death's for the Edead,
And the Ddepth of a Aheart is a Efathom unAknown.
SomeAtimes when I get to Ethinking about Ayou,
And all the things that Dwe've never Asaid
To each other, it sDeems such a shame to go Eblue
When there's Dso many Ayears to lie Esilent and Adead.
AI know, you know, Eall about Alife.
You know, I know, Dnothing at Aall.
Still why Dshould I know daily Estrife
When the Dtouch of your Ahand makes me Eglad I'm so Asmall.
ATime brings us trouble as Edays come and Ago.
I know, you know DI'll underAstand.
Could yoDu, would you suffer Ea woe,
When a Dblink of your Aeye and EI'm at your comAmand.
DThink of the years before Awe were a Dpair,
Years lived apart we spent Glearning to Dfarm.
Sowing, Ggrowing and Bmlearning to Acare
For ourBmselves, and preDparing for Aeach other's DarmsE.
ALove is a flower, blooms Ewhen we're too Ayoung;
Pluck it, it's gone, Dtended it Agrows.
We've been tending since the Dfirst sprout was Esprung 
To the Dmost patient Afarmer, the Ebest harvest Agoes.
ASometimes I recall what Eothers have Asaid
Love is for lovers in Dlove and full Agrown,
Life's for the Dliving and death's for the Edead,
And the Ddepth of a Aheart is a Efathom unAknown.A  E  A

Sometimes When I Get To Thinkin chords

A D E D A E A

A E A

Sometimes I recall what others have said

D A

Love is for lovers in love and full grown,

D E

Life's for the living and death's for the dead,

D A E A

And the depth of a heart is a fathom unknown.

A E A

Sometimes when I get to thinking about you,

D A

And all the things that we've never said

D E

To each other, it seems such a shame to go blue

D A E A

When there's so many years to lie silent and dead.

A E A

I know, you know, all about life.

D A

You know, I know, nothing at all.

D E

Still why should I know daily strife

D A E A

When the touch of your hand makes me glad I'm so small.

A E A

Time brings us trouble as days come and go.

D A

I know, you know I'll understand.

D E

Could you, would you suffer a woe,

D A E A

When a blink of your eye and I'm at your command.

D A D

Think of the years before we were a pair,

G D

Years lived apart we spent learning to farm.

G Bm A

Sowing, growing and learning to care

Bm D A D E

For ourselves, and preparing for each other's arms.

A E A

Love is a flower, blooms when we're too young;

D A

Pluck it, it's gone, tended it grows.

D E

We've been tending since the first sprout was sprung

D A E A

To the most patient farmer, the best harvest goes.

A E A

Sometimes I recall what others have said

D A

Love is for lovers in love and full grown,

D E

Life's for the living and death's for the dead,

D A E A A E A

And the depth of a heart is a fathom unknown.
