Then And Only Then chords by Loretta Lynn

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
C G D7 G

Verse 1:
G
In your haste you left and said you'd be returnin'
G                 D  D7
In my sorrow I forgot to ask you when
    G
In my lonely room I sit and count the hours
    C       G        D7         G
Every minute hopin' I'll look up and you'll come walkin' in

Chorus:
G       C  G
For then and only then will I stop cryin'
         C    G         D  D7
And this aching breaking heart of mine will mend
G      C        G
Not until I feel your arms around me
   C      G       D7      G
Will I be happy and I live for then and only then

Solo:
G C G D G

Verse 2:
G
All that's left inside my heart is just your echo
G                    D7
And the tiny thread of hope to which I cling
    G
But if I keep holding on maybe some day
     C        G        D    D7  G
You'll remember where you left me and come back for me again


Chorus:
G       C  G
For then and only then will I stop cryin'
         C    G         D  D7
And this aching breaking heart of mine will mend
G      C        G
Not until I feel your arms around me
   C      G       D7      G  G
Will I be happy and I live for then and only then
