Verse
G D
Baby, I couldn't hide no matter how hard I descry.
A D
Was foolish to have begun to believe I'd ever outrun.
G D
And honey, I had no call to try and escape at all,
A D
'Cause by the time I got free, love caught up to me.
G D
Baby, I used to have ways to avoid any place,
A D
That even had half the chance to cut in on my dance.
G D
Yeah, my cool heart hung around, only if it couldn't be found,
A D
But showed up permanently, when love caught up to me.
F# G
The fascinations of each lie,
F# G
I told myself were reasons why
E F
The feeble boast I made alone,
Bb A
Sounds faded, worn and all outgrown.

Hey, I could never afford honey, all it would cost,
A D
To replace what you do if it ever got lost.
G D
But baby, I'd beg and steal just to keep how I feel,
A D
A way I never did need, 'til love caught up to me.
