C 
I wandered in around midnight 

Like I've done so many times 
        F 
She was sitting at the table 
           G7              C 
There were no tears in her eyes 


It seemed so much unlike her 

To be so much at ease 
    F 
She took a sip of coffee 
    G7             C 
And softly said to me 

            F 
There's the mantle where 
                    C 
We keep our wedding picture 
            G7 
There's the bedroom where 
                      C 
We make both love and war 

                F 
And there's the ring that keeps 
                     C 
On slipping off your finger 
           D7                        G7 
There's no reason we should go on anymore 
                C 
And there's the door 


So I'm back here on this bar stool 

My whole world gone to hell 
           F 
Behind the bottles there's a mirror 
        G7           C 
Where a fool can see himself 


If I was the man I should be 

And not the one I am 
           F 
I would go back there this minute 
    G7               C 
And beg for one more chance 

            F 
There's the jukebox 
                         C 
Where I wasted all those quarters 
             G7 
Oh there's a lady trying to 
                  C 
Get me out on the floor 

              F 
And there's a chance the one I love 
            C 
Would still forgive me 
       D7                         G7 
It's a step that I just never took before 
            C 
There's the door
