[Verse 1]
Dearest, [D]darling,
I had to write to say
that I won't be [Em]home anymore
[A]Something hap[D]pened to me
as I was driving home
and I'm not the [Em]same anymore
[A]For I was onl[G]y 24 hours wit[Em]hout her
[G]Only one day away from your hou[Em]se
I [C]saw a welcoming [D]light
and [C]stopped to rest for the [D]night
And that is where I saw her
As I pulled in outside of a small hotel
[Em]She was there
[A]So I wal[D]ked up to her
Asked where I could get something to eat
And [Em]she showed me where
[A]For hours on [G]me
24 hours from [Em]Tulsa
[G]On me
One day away from your [Em]eyes
She [C]took me to the [D]cafe,
I [C]asked her if she would [D]stay,
[G]she said [D]OK[G][D][E][F#]
[B][E][F#]
[B]Four hours [A]on me,
twenty -four hours from [F#m]Towson[A]
[B]On [A]me,
one day away from your [F#m]house[A]
The [D]truth was done, took [E]away
I'd [D]like to turn in [E]today
As we were dancing, mostly
All of a sudden I lost control
As [F#m]I held her [F#]char[B]m,
as I [E]caressed her
Kissed her, told her I'd die
before I would let her [F#m]out
Had my [B]arms,
for I was [A]only 24 hours from [F#m]Tulsa[A][F#m]
[A]I h[B]ate[A] to d[D]o this to you,[E]
that [D]I've got somebody [E]new
And [A]what can [A]I do,
and I can [E]never, never, never,
oh no, go [A]home [A]again you
