Eb                               Fm                      Eb
Sure, I could stay that you're a love sick mama with the blues
                         Fm
Singing, waiting by your garden gate
Eb                         Fm                          Eb
But you're no painted lady fading like a photograph of youth
                    Fm
If I stumble I will be too late

[Verse 2]

Eb                                Fm
Sure, I could say that you're the love struck kitty
         Eb                        Fm
Month of June, stars of California in your eyes
Eb                          Fm                            Eb
But I don't hear the steady tick tock, pretty maiden your tune
                        Fm
I could lose you in the bluest skies

[Chorus]
Ab
   But there's no fair the well
Ab
   As far as I can tell
   Eb           Gm             Bbm Eb7
As far as I can see beyond the hill
Ab
   There's no great escape
Abm                     Eb
Out of this rolling landscape
           Gm               Bbm   Eb7
The summer rains are falling still
             Ab
And they may kill me

[Bridge]
Cm                       Ab                        Cm  F
   Like my heart sending darker blood through my veins
Cm             Eb              Ab             Abm7       Bb
We're kissing, peeling off our clothes in the midnight rain

[Verse 3]
Eb                                    Fm                        Eb
   And sure, you could say that I'm a new city kid with branded feet
                            Fm
Who never calls you at your garden gate
Eb                            Fm                                 Eb
But I'm the one who finds you dancing on your slow down darkened street
                               Fm
Dance with me, darling, it's never too late

[Chorus]
Ab
   At night we count the stars
Ab
   Get drunk and kiss in bars
    Eb            Gm                Bbm Eb7
And we forget the miles between the two
Ab                          Abm
   And in the morning snow, you scream at me, "Just go!"
    Eb                Gm                  Bb
And curse, the highways take me away from you
             Fm
Highways like  you
         Ab                                             Eb
They may kill me but I won't apologize feeling the light

I won't apologize, o-oh

I won't apologize, oh no

I won't apologize, no-o

I won't apologiiiiize, no no
