Dm Gm Bb
As her car pulls out the driveway... and she don't wave goodbye
A Dm Gm Bb A Dm A5 G5 Dm A5 G5
Her last words echo in my mind "Listen honey, I gotta get away"
Dm Gm Bb
Standing here watching her tail lights... as if they're some kind of sign
A Dm Gm Bb A
Fading into a memory... I just got tired of trying
Dm F Gm Dm
So long, I hate to see you go
Bb Dm
but I save my tears for later on down the road
Dm F Gm Dm
How come you keep me holding on
Bb A Dm A5 G5
Knowing you won't be coming home
A Dm A5 G5 Dm A5 G5
You won't be coming home
Dm Gm Bb
Two days later I get a letter... a picture of a room in some hotel
A Dm Gm Bb Dm A5 G5 Dm A5 G5
Sitting framed up on the table... a picture that I know quite well
Dm
You've painted yourself in to a corner
Gm Bb
Now you're trying to paint something new
A Dm Gm Bb A
And the lipstick on the letter is a goodbye kiss from you
C Gm Bb F
I still set the table... still set it for you and me
C Gm Bb A A7
It's become a habit... my own personal make believe
