[Verse 1]
       G                   D              G
It was all that I could do   to keep from cryin'
    G                 D            G     G7
Sometimes it seems so useless to remain
C                                  G
You're the one who always tried to change me
    G                D               G     G7
And that is why I'll always stay the same


[Chorus]
         C                               G
And I'll hang around as long as you will let me
  C            G               D
I never minded standin' in the rain
G                 C                  G
You don't have to call me "Darlin'," Darlin'
        G          D          G
But you never even call me by name
 
 
[Verse 2]
G                 D              G
You don't have to call me Waylon Jennings
   G                         D         G
No you don't have to call me   Charlie Pride
    C                               G
And you don't have to call me Merle Haggard anymore
     G                      D              G
Even though you know you're on my fightin' side
 
 
[Chorus]
         C                               G
And I'll hang around as long as you will let me
  C            G               D
I never minded standin' in the rain
G                 C                  G
You don't have to call me "Darlin'," Darlin'
        G          D          G
But you never even call me by name

C'mon now...

[Verse 3]
     G              D                G
I've seen my name a few times in the phonebook (hello, hello, hello)
           G                   D             G     G7
And on the neon sign above the bar I used to own
         C                              G
There is only one thing that I'm really sure of
             G               D               G
I'm going to hear it when my Savior calls me home
 
 
[Chorus]
                   C                               G
'Til that day I'll hang around as long as you will let me
  C            G               D
I never minded standin' in the rain
G                 C                  G
You don't have to call me "Darlin'," Darlin'
        G          D          G
But you never even call me by name


[Outro]
C
It's not her heart lord, it's her mind
           G
She didn't mean to be unkind
        G          D             C   G
And you never even call me by my na--ame
