Artist: George Jones
[F]I remember how your eyes used to light up
[Bb]Over promises that I [Gm]made
But for the firs[C]t time in my life I know now
How it [Bb]feels [C]to be a[F]fraid
[F]I don't know what I'd [Bb]do if you [F]go away
This would sure be one lonely old [Bb]town [Gm]
For a[Bb] man's so [C]busy going [Am]up in the [Bb]world
That he [Gm]couldn't see love coming d[C]own
[C7]Love coming [F]down [Bb] [F]
I remember all the times you told me
Love's all that matters to you
And looking back now, wondering how I believed
I had things more important to do
I can see how I must have looked to you
Like some fool on a merry-go-round
And that a man's so busy going up in the world
That he couldn't see love going down
Love going down
[C]Can't you see how everything I've l[Bb]earned
Would just be [C7]wasted if you [F]leave [C]me
If [F]you just give one more try
I [C7]swear I'll always be here when you [F]need [C]me
If you can find it in your heart to forgive me
I'll try to keep both my feet on the ground
But if a man's so busy going up in the world
That he couldn't see love coming down
Love coming down
