So I wFalked ouCtside

BbWent out driFving, caught a Dmmovie, cut my Chair
But Bbno matter where I Fwent
All her woCrds kept coming Dmback
Bb"It'll be revFealed some day when Cwe are both cFats"
[Verse 5]
And then whFen I came Chome
Oh, the Bbbird had spread her Fwings
BbShe evFacuated aDmll her little tChings
BbJust a little nFote to the maCntle was attaDmched.Dm..
Bb"We will meet aFgain someday when Cwe are both cFats"

[Verse 1]

F C

I asked my girl

Bb F

Baby do you love me true?

Bb F Dm C

Do you love me like the ocean loves the blue?

Bb F C Dm

She rolled over and, she stopped me in my tracks

Bb F C F

"It'll be revealed some day when we are both cats"

[Interlude]

Bb F C F

[Verse 2]

F C

I blinked my eyes

Bb F

And considered a reply

Bb F Dm C

Hey baby, do you think you could clarify?

Bb F C Dm

When she said the words again, I wasn't sure how to react

Bb F C F

"It'll be revealed some day when we are both cats"

[Interlude]

Bb F C F

[Verse 3]

F C

So I asked my girl

Bb F

What that meant about our past

Bb F Dm C

All those times you told me that our love would last

Bb F C Dm

Did you love me then or was all of that an act?

Bb F C F

"It'll be revealed some day when we are both cats"

[Interlude]

Bb F C F

[Verse 4]

F C

So I walked outside

Bb F

'cause I needed some fresh air

Bb F Dm C

Went out driving, caught a movie, cut my hair

Bb F

But no matter where I went

C Dm

All her words kept coming back

Bb F C F

"It'll be revealed some day when we are both cats"

[Verse 5]

F C

And then when I came home

Bb F

Oh, the bird had spread her wings

Bb F Dm C

She evacuated all her little things

Bb F C Dm Dm

Just a little note to the mantle was attached...

Bb F C F

"We will meet again someday when we are both cats"

[Outro]

Bb F C F
