"On the Fence"- Brendan Benson and Ashley Monroe
Intro: A
Verse:
A D
Well I'm afraid that it's true, I'm leavin' you
A E
But rest assured, tomorrow I'll be home.
A D
Cuz you know I never could, I never was no good
A E A
Lord knows at bein' on my own.
A D
Never was the type to want to settle down,
A E
But never had the nerve to ramble on.
A D
So I'm leaving here tonight, but I'll be back before dawn
A E A
So leave a light on, and keep my supper warm.
Chorus:
A
Never been a fighter or a lover,
A E
never thought that either made much sense.
A A7 D D7
and I can't decide on this way or the other,
A E A
So I live my life just sittin on this fence.
Verse:
A D
and today I feel restless, tomorrow I won't fret this,
A E
There's no tellin' what this boy will do,
A D
but baby guarantee, the moment that I'm free,
A E A
that's when I'll come crawlin' back to you.
Chorus
Bridge:
E D A
and I don't know how you can stand it, I don't know why you stay,
E D A
but you know I never planned it, to turn out this way,
E D A
and I would understand it, if you couldn't take any more,
D E
of my always keeping one foot out the door.
Verse:
A D
and I want to get married, I want to raise a family,
A E
do like all the other people do,
A A7 D D7
But what self-respecting woman, would ever have me and not stab me,
A E D7
When I wanna have my cake and eat it too
Chorus to end
