Intro: Fmaj7 Bbmaj7 Fmaj7 Bbmaj7
Gm7 Fmaj7
By the time I get to Phoenix, she'll be rising
Gm7 Fmaj7
She'll find the note I left hanging, on her door
Bbmaj7 C7 Am7 Dm7
She'll laugh when she reads the part, that say I'm leaving
Gm7 Eb C7
Cause I've left that girl, so many times before
Gm7 Fmaj7
By the time I make Albuquerque, she'll be working
Gm7 Fmaj7
She'll probably, stop at lunch and give me a call
Bbmaj7 C7 Am7 Dm7
But she'll hear that empty phone, keep on ringing
Gm7 Eb C7
Off the wall, that's all
Gm7 Fmaj7
By the time I make Oklahoma, she'll be sleeping
Gm7 Fmaj7
She'll turn softly and call my name out low
Bbmaj7 C7 Am7 Dm7
And she'll cry to think, that I'd really leave her
Gm7 C7 Fmaj7
But time and time again, I've tried to tell her so
Bbmaj7 Gm7 A7 Dmaj7
She just didn't know, that I would really go...
