1.    You called me up from Amarillo,         said you were comin' to town,

D                                                 F#m   - G                                         A

    and thought I'd like to tell you hello,       and drive an old friend around.

Bm                            A        - G                        F#m

    I pulled up to the airport,       confident and cool,

G                                      Bm                      Em                    A

    but when you stepped off that plane, I knew I was your fool.

 

                D           F#m    G                          D

My little Texas tornado, blowin' me away again,

       G                                      D           Em                           A

I swore it wouldn't happen again, but I looked at you and then.

F                 Am                        Bb                       A

    I'm like a tumbleweed, in a wild west Texas wind,

             Bb                 C      D

you're blowin' me away, again.

2.    You're lyin' with me in Atlanta,        it's such a beautiful lie,

D                                 F#m   - G                                  A

    you play me like a piano,         I always let you get by.

Bm                                  A                      G                        F#m

    I know I'll go through hell, girl, when you find someone else,

           G                       Bm            Em                      A

    but right now I'm in heaven, and I can't help myself.
