I've Got To Stop Thinkin Bout That by James Taylor
I've Got To Stop Thinkin Bout That
[Intro]:
E, A, B x4
[Verse 1]:
B F# B F#
I like to think about the time I met you,
B F# B F#
Living with your people down in New Orleans.
B F# B F#
Mad at your mama cause she'd never let you,
B F# B
Ride in no nasty limousine.
[Pre-Chorus]:
E G#m
Later on the levee with the moon up above,
E F#
I lost my heart and confessed my love,
[Chorus]:
E B F# B
Oh now Lucy, said, God have mercy, I've got to stop thinkin' 'bout that, somehow.
[Break]:
E, A, B E A B
Does me no damn good.
E, A, B
E, A, B
[Verse 2]:
B F# B F#
One Summer night in a field of wheat,
B F# B F#
God's sweet lanterns hanging in the sky.
B F# B F#
Moving light on your tiny feet,
B F# B
I knew I had to love you till the day I die.
[Pre-Chorus]:
E G#m
They talk about Amazing Grace,
E F#
it meant something when I saw your face.
[Chorus]:
E B F# B
Oh now Lucy, said, God have mercy, I've got to stop thinkin' 'bout that
E B F# B
Oh, Lucy said, I can't stop thinkin' bout you.
[Bridge]:
Eb
I think of all the little things that I never told you,
B
I think I may get to hold you someday.
Eb
It's my brain just like a man possessed,
E F#
I can't do me no work, I can't get me no rest,
[Break]:
E A B
I can't understand it baby.
E, A, B x3
[Verse 3]:
B F# B F#
Don't like to think about the way it ended,
B F# B F#
I hate remembering the things that I said.
B F# B F#
I dream a dream of love so splendid,
B F# B
I wake up hard in an empty bed.
[Pre-Chorus]:
E G#m
I wonder who'll be loving you next,
E F#
Some fool will be writing bad checks.
[Chorus]:
E B F# B
Oh now Lucy, said, God have mercy, I've got to stop thinkin' 'bout you
E B F# B
Somehow baby, Lord have mercy, I've got to stop thinkin' 'bout that
[Outro]:
E, A, B
