N.C.
My heart knows me better than I know myself
                                       Em   B7   Em
So I'm gonna let it do all the talking
N.C.
I came across a place in the middle of nowhere
                                        Em   B7   Em
With a big black horse and a cherry tree


I felt a little fear upon my back
I said don't look back just keep on walking
But the big black horse said look this way
he said 'hey lady will you marry me?'


          Em7    D             Em7
But I said no....no,....no.....no no no
             D  Cadd9                  Em7 
I said no....no you're not the one for me
                 D            Em7
But I said no....no....no.....no no no
             D  Cadd9
I said no....no You're not the one for me


My heart hit a problem in the early hours
So I stopped it dead for a beat or two
But I cut some cord and I shouldn't have done it
And it won't forgive me after all these years

So I sent to a place in the middle of nowhere
With a big black horse and a cherry tree
But it won't come back coz it's oh so happy
And now I've got a hole for the world to see

It said no no
You're not the one for me
But I said no no
You're not the one for me

Big black horse and the cherry tree
I can't quite get there coz my heart forsaken me
