Was the night she said goodbye
She said that love's a stranger
And it's sure to pass you by
As she packed up her belongings
She wouldn't look me in the eye
But I could see a tear roll
Off her face
As we both tried so hard
Not to cry she said
I never wanted the stars
I never shot for the moon
I like them right where they are
All I wanted was you
So baby just turn away
Because I can't face the truth
All I'm trying to say
Is all I wanted was you
I tried so hard to remember
Where when how why love went away
I tried to drown myself in pity
But the whiskey kept calling your name
I bought you fancy cars and diamond rings
All the things that money brings
And the servants to paint the sky blue
And I worked so hard seven days a week
And built a fortress for your heart to keep
If I could I'd wrap these words up for you
I never wanted the stars
I never shot for the moon
I like them right where they are
All I wanted was you
So baby just turn away
Because I can't face the truth
All I'm trying to say
Is all I wanted was you
I may have built for you a dreamhouse
But never thought you were alone
I filled the party up with company
But never made our house a home
All I got is my guitar these chords and the truth
All I got is my guitar... But all I want is you
The last time I saw her Was the night she said goodbye She said that love's a stranger And it's sure to pass you by As she packed up her belongings She wouldn't look me in the eye But I could see a tear roll Off her face As we both tried so hard Not to cry she said I never wanted the stars I never shot for the moon I like them right where they are All I wanted was you So baby just turn away Because I can't face the truth All I'm trying to say Is all I wanted was you I tried so hard to remember Where when how why love went away I tried to drown myself in pity But the whiskey kept calling your name I bought you fancy cars and diamond rings All the things that money brings And the servants to paint the sky blue And I worked so hard seven days a week And built a fortress for your heart to keep If I could I'd wrap these words up for you I never wanted the stars I never shot for the moon I like them right where they are All I wanted was you So baby just turn away Because I can't face the truth All I'm trying to say Is all I wanted was you I may have built for you a dreamhouse But never thought you were alone I filled the party up with company But never made our house a home All I got is my guitar these chords and the truth All I got is my guitar...
