Lovers Chords & Lyrics - Mickey Newbury

Intro: [Em] [A] [Em] [A] [D] [G] [D] [G]

[D]Once they were [D/C#]lovers [D/C]but now they're not [D/B]friends
[Am]She's found another, [G]he says it's the end
[Gm]To think they once tore down a w[D]all for a door
[A7]Now they don't speak any[D]more

So he walks the streets the few night he can stand
Drinkin' her memory away when he can
Friend's once would reach out to them from the shore
But now they don't cry anymore

[Em]How does it [A7]all come to[D] happen
[Em]That's not [A7]what lovin' is[D] for
And if [Em]I thought it [A7]was I would[D] leave here in the mornin'
[Em]I'd sooner sleep on the [D]floor

Oh, when will learn really what loving is
It's not what you get in return but what you give
To think they once tore down a wall for a door
Now they don't speak anymore..
