Nunn & Karen Brooks As Sung By Jerry Jeff Walker on "It's A Good Night For Singing" G D The lamp is broken on the mantle G D My mind is blown and I'm turning away G D It's Gettin' more than I can handle G D It's Gettin' more than I can say CHORUS: C D G I couldn't stay here if I wanted C D Em I couldn't stay here if I tried C D G Em You were always disappointed in me C D G Guess I could never do nothing right Well, I worked hard to make a living To make that good life dream come true But you wanted more than I was giving I guess that was more than I could do (chorus) You cut my heart like the cards on the table It seemed like fun for you to keep playin' on Well, I let you in as long as I was able But now all your games have done been run (then chorus) C 1976 Nunn Publishing Co., Inc.
