          F                             C
Once upon a time, I had a love that was mine
             F                     C
Lots of love for granted, oh yes you do
          F                          C
I used to trip around, run around, steal around
        F               C
All of the time, oh yes I did
         F                 C
Then one day, when I got home
               F                           C
I found my little girl gone, then a note on a bed
                G
This is what it said:

          C               Cmaj7
I wanna a love, I can call mine
               F                   C
Come rain or shine, and still be mine
         C                  Cmaj7
I wanna love that’s here to stay
            F                      C
Won’t fade away with the light of day

      F                 C
(Then the note on bed said)

          F                         C
Im sorry baby, but I can’t take no more
                   F                            C
I know I said I’m leaving, two or three times before
                 F                             C
This time I’m leaving, I am going a long way home
               F                       C
Dont expect me back, for a hundred years
                F                    C
You know I’ve cried too many tears
          G
And she said, P.S.


           C                 Cmaj7
I wanna a love, I can call mine
              F                    C
Come rain or shine, and still be mine
          C                 Cmaj7
I wanna love that’s here to stay
             F                         C
Won’t fade away with the light of day


                F
Oohhh, baby
              C
Ooohh oooh
              F                                   C
You see, I didn’t realize what I had since I lost it
           F                           G
I didn’t miss my water til my well run dry

                 F                             C
She said, Im looking for a love
              F                      G
Not just any love, no no no



            C                         Cmaj7
I wanna a love, I can call mine
                           F                              C
Come rain or shine, and still be mine
                 C                            Cmaj7
I wanna love that’s here to stay
                      F                                      C
Won’t fade away with the light of day
