VERSE:
         F                                  C
 Well I have to take a rain check on that night on the town
  Dm                              A
 Right now I just need sometime alone.
       Bb                             F              Dm
 It’s just that I’m not over yet the one who let me down
           Em             Eb              C7   C
 And it’s finally sinking in that she is gone.


VERSE:
            F                               C
 Thought I feel that I could cry 'til the world comes to an end
         Dm                         A
 That’s surely not what I intend to do
           Bb                                F            Dm
 When the pain has run it’s course I’ll be smiling once again
           Bb             C             F
 When I’m feeling just a little lesser blue.

 A little more time thinking this thing through

 I’ve got some getting over to do


VERSE:
                  F                                 C
 So please don’t ask me how much longer till this heart of mine will mend
                 Dm                               A    A
 'Cause I don’t know and don’t and really wish I knew
    Bb                                  F           Dm
 I just don’t think I’d be the best of company my friend
     Em             Eb              C7  C
 To tell you other wise would be untrue

 C     F                        C
 I appreciate you saying everything will be alright
         Dm                                A
 That’s something that I’m looking forward to
     Bb                                 F              Dm
 But for a while I think I’ll just be dropping out of sight
           Bb             C             F
 'Til I’m feeling just a little lesser blue.
