Db
Dearest, darlin', I had to write to 
say that I won't
   Eb      Ab
be home anymore.
              Db
For something happened to me, as I 
was driving home,
                Eb      Ab
and I'm not the same anymore.


CHORUS:
          Gb                    
Oh, I was only twenty-four hours 
      Ebm        Gb
from Tulsa, oh, only
                       Ebm
one day away from your arms.
  B                 Db      
I saw the welcoming light and 
  B
stopped to rest for the
Db
night.

Db
And that is when I saw him, as I 
pulled in outside of
        Eb           Ab
a small hotel he was there.

         Db
And so I walked up to him, asked 
where I could get
                 Ab  Eb           
something to eat and he showed me 
Ab
where.


CHORUS:
Db        Gb                     
Oh, I was only twenty-four hours 
     Ebm        Gb
from Tulsa, oh, only
                       Ebm
one day away from your arms.
   B              Db          B  
He took me to the cafe and he 
                 Db
asked me if I would stay.

I said, okay.

    B                  Db     
The jukebox started to play and 
  B
night time turned into
Db
day.
Db
As we were dancing closely, all of a
 sudden I lost
           Eb         Ab
control as he held me tight.
            Db
And then he kissed me, caressed me, 
told me he would
                           Eb    
die before he would let me out of 
     Ab
his arms.

I hate to do this to you, but 
                 Db
I've found somebody new.

What can I do?
Db                                 
And I could never, never, never go 
Gb
home again.
