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 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 wants to dDo Cadd9 G6 D Cadd9 G6
[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 D Cadd9 G6 D
