Why Can't I Leave Her Alone - George Strait - Capo 1
[Intro]
D  G
[Verse 1]
I Dknow I don't want her, I swear that's a fact
But the Gthought of somebody else rubbing her back
Just Dkills me
Oh, it Akills me
I Dknow she don't love me, I know she ain't home
So Gwhy in the hell do I pick up this phone
And Dcall her?
Why do I Acall her?
[Chorus]
I Ddropped by her momma's stoned out of my mind
Just to Ghear that it's over from her one more time
As Aif I didn't see that red Chevy not slowing down
Or Loaded down and rolling down our Groad
Yeah, she's Emalready left
So Awhy can't I leave her DaloneG  
[Verse 2]
DI've wrote her letters signed I was a fool
GShe wrote me back saying go find a stool
And Ddrink one
Like you've Aalways done
So Dthat's what I did 'cause that's what I do
BackGsliding, hiding away from the truth
'Til the Dtears run
Oh, here Acomes one
[Chorus]
I Ddropped by her momma's stoned out of my mind
Just to Ghear that it's over from her one more time
As Aif I didn't see that red Chevy not slowing down
Or Loaded down and rolling down oGur road
Yeah, she's Emalready left
So Awhy can't I leave her DaloneG  
[Interlude]
D   G   D   A
[Chorus]
I Ddropped by her momma's stoned out of my mind
Just to Ghear that it's over from her one more time
As Aif I didn't see that red Chevy not slowing down
Or Turnin' round, or loaded down , headin out of town
Or rollin down our Groad
Yeah, she's Emalready left
So Awhy can't I leave her DaloneG  
I Dknow I don't want her, I swear that's a fact
But the Gthought of somebody else rubbing her back
N.C.       D  
Just kills me

Why Can't I Leave Her Alone - George Strait - Capo 1

[Intro]

D G

[Verse 1]

I know I don't want her, I swear that's a fact

But the thought of somebody else rubbing her back

Just kills me

Oh, it kills me

I know she don't love me, I know she ain't home

So why in the hell do I pick up this phone

And call her?

Why do I call her?

[Chorus]

I dropped by her momma's stoned out of my mind

Just to hear that it's over from her one more time

As if I didn't see that red Chevy not slowing down

Or Loaded down and rolling down our road

Yeah, she's already left

A D G

So why can't I leave her alone

[Verse 2]

I've wrote her letters signed I was a fool

She wrote me back saying go find a stool

And drink one

Like you've always done

So that's what I did 'cause that's what I do

Backsliding, hiding away from the truth

'Til the tears run

Oh, here comes one

[Chorus]

I dropped by her momma's stoned out of my mind

Just to hear that it's over from her one more time

As if I didn't see that red Chevy not slowing down

Or Loaded down and rolling down our road

Yeah, she's already left

A D G

So why can't I leave her alone

[Interlude]

D G D A

[Chorus]

I dropped by her momma's stoned out of my mind

Just to hear that it's over from her one more time

As if I didn't see that red Chevy not slowing down

Or Turnin' round, or loaded down , headin out of town

Or rollin down our road

Yeah, she's already left

A D G

So why can't I leave her alone

I know I don't want her, I swear that's a fact

But the thought of somebody else rubbing her back

N.C.

Just kills me
