Except You Lyrics & Tabs by The Paul Butterfield Blues Band
Except You
guitar chords lyrics
Thought I had you in the palm of my hand
'Cause you said I was your loving man
Thought I was the king of the world
'Cause you told me you'd be my girl
But that was a long time ago
When in winter the grass was green
Nothing seem the way it seem
Except you, except you
Thought I was ahead of my time
Love was all I had on my mind
But that was a long time ago
When at night I saw the sun
Nothing and, oh, nothing
Except you, except you, babe
You have dreams and schemes
Nothing and, oh, nothing
Except you, except you, babe
You have dreams and schemes
But life was a burning cinder
All I needed was you, out of sight
And I can tell her, ooh
Look at all the things that I own
A house, a car, a paid up loan
Flowers blooming in my yard
And I knew it wouldn't be so hard
But that was a long time ago
When the rain was so fresh and clear
All I wanted was right here
Except you, babe
Except you, except you, babe
Ooh, except you, ooh, babe
