D Cadd9 G6
[Verse 1]
Just Dsitting there, looking out the window
In a chair that Richard CLindsey called his hDome
A Dmillion tears and painful years of living
That's Call that Richard Lindsey calls his oAwn
DLooking back, he thinks about his woman
He knows too well she wCon't be back todDay
It Emhurts so much to think of how she lDeft him
And the Clover that she found along the wAay Bm Cm C#m

[Chorus]
If Gyou could leave your body and Dmake your dreams come true
CCan you tell me just what you would Ddo?
You Gcould strike out in anger if Dpride got in the way
And Cwho would ever know that it was Ayou? Bm Cm C#m D Em F#m

[Verse 2]
If she Donly hadn't laughed when she was leaving
And told him who Cshe was leaving fDor
That Dmorning might not have found their bodies
BeChind that third floor locked motel room Adoor
They Dnever found an answer to the question
What happened on that Cmorning, no one knDows
They Emall knew he was jealous of his Dwoman
But Cwhere they died, a cripple couldn't Ago Bm Cm C#m
C#m D Em F#m
[Chorus]
If Gyou could leave your body and Dmake your dreams come true
CCan you tell me just what you would Ddo?
You Gcould strike out in anger if Dpride got in the way
And Cwho would ever know that it was Ayou? Bm Cm C#m D Em F#m
EmThat's what Richard LAindsey learned to dDo Cadd9 G6
