Why Cant I Leave Her Alone

Tom: D

D  G

[Verse 1]
  D
I know I don't want her, I swear that's a fact
        G
But the thought of somebody else rubbing her back
     D
Just kills me
       A
Oh, it kills me
  D
I know she don't love me, I know she ain't home
   G
So why in the hell do I pick up this phone
    D
And call her?
         A
Why do I call her?

[Chorus]
  D
I dropped by her momma's stoned out of my mind
        G
Just to hear that it's over from her one more time
   A
As if I didn't see that red Chevy not slowing down
                                    G
Or Loaded down and rolling down our road
            Em
Yeah, she's already left
   A                     D       G
So why can't I leave her alone

[Verse 2]
D
I've wrote her letters signed I was a fool
G
She wrote me back saying go find a stool
    D
And drink one
            A
Like you've always done
   D
So that's what I did 'cause that's what I do
    G
Backsliding, hiding away from the truth
         D
'Til the tears run
         A
Oh, here comes one

[Chorus]
  D
I dropped by her momma's stoned out of my mind
        G
Just to hear that it's over from her one more time
   A
As if I didn't see that red Chevy not slowing down
                                 G
Or Loaded down and rolling down our road
            Em
Yeah, she's already left
   A                     D       G
So why can't I leave her alone

[Interlude]
D   G   D   A

[Chorus]
  D
I dropped by her momma's stoned out of my mind
        G
Just to hear that it's over from her one more time
   A
As if I didn't see that red Chevy not slowing down

Or Turnin' round, or loaded down , headin out of town
                   G
Or rollin down our road
            Em
Yeah, she's already left
   A                     D       G
So why can't I leave her alone
  D
I know I don't want her, I swear that's a fact
        G
But the thought of somebody else rubbing her back
N.C.       D
Just kills me
