It Was Time For Me To Move On Anyway
Written and recorded by Bill Anderson

C
You slipped in and really caught me by surprise
                          F            C
When you told me you were leavin' me today
    F                                 C     Am
You say you've found another you love better
            C              G7         C
Well it was time for me to move on anyway


I've already loved you longer than I meant to
                  F               C
And I'd've had to tell you so someday
F                                  C   Am
All you've done is help to make it easy
       C              G7         C
It was time for me to move on anyway

F
Thanks for the shelter
                                              C
And the coffee and the softest lips I've ever kissed
      G7
Which one will I miss the most
        C
I can't say

F
Thanks for the shoulder that I cried on and relied on
                 C
You're takin' it away
F          C    Am
But that's okay
       C              G7         C
It was time for me to move on anyway


We've had lots of fun just livin' life together
             F              C
Fun but in a deeper kind of way
  F                                     C      Am
I guess it's really best that you'll be leavin'
             C              G7         C
Cause it was time for me to move on anyway


I just hate to leave a woman standin' cryin'
                         F              C
And I've loved a few and left 'em in my day
          F                                  C     Am
I've just never heard the door slam from the inside
       C              G7         C
It was time for me to move on anyway

repeat #3,4
