[Verse 1]
G C
Clyde woke up real early while Edna was still asleep
G C
Got dressed and had some coffee, then found his set of keys
Bm C C/B Am
He pulled on his levi jacket, he headed for the door
Am D Dsus4 D
The kitchen smelled like dinner from the night before
G C
A rumbling exhaust pipe woke Edna from her sleep
G C
She stumbled like a drunkard yelling Clyde you wait for me
Bm C C/B Am
But Clyde was going nowhere, just sitting in his truck
Am D Dsus4 D
Staring with a poker face, like he'd run out of luck

[Chorus]
C D G
Cause any fool would've turned and run
C D G
Any fool would've walked away
C D Em
Any fool would've given up
C D G
But an ordinary man, he chose to stay

[Verse 2]
G C
Now Edna, she couldn't say too much, she'd seen that look before
G C
She kept tapping on Clyde's window, till he opened up the door
Bm C C/B Am
Then she put her arms around him, she never said a word
Am D Dsus4 D
And Clyde turned on the radio and neither of them heard
G C
He said Edna why don't you hop in, I think I'll call in sick
G C
There's three one ways to a dead end street, now you just take your pick
Bm C C/B Am
And she pointed to the ballfield and the park where they first kissed
Am D Dsus4 D
And Clyde grinned like he found something that he had almost missed

[Chorus]
C D G
Cause any fool would've turned and run
C D G
Any fool would've walked away
C D Em
Any fool would've given up
C D G
But an ordinary man, he chose to stay

[Verse 3]
G C
They spent that day in freedom, they hung on for many more
