No News

A

[Verse 1]
    A
She said "It's just a woman thing" and pulled out of the drive.
A
I said not to worry, I'm an understandin' guy.
     D
I've heard that when you love someone, you've gotta let em go.
    A
She hollered: "When I find myself you'll be the first to know."
G       E           A     E
Ooo-ooo-hoo-oo,  No news!


[Verse 2]
      A
I've learned to do the laundry, feed the cat, and clean the house.
  A
I promised to be patient while she worked her problems out.
D
When she packed her bags, her destination wasn't clear;
      A
But I sensed that her intentions were honest and sincere.
G       E           A
Ooo-ooo-hoo-oo,  No news!


[Chorus]
          A          G
She could telephone, tell a friend,
D/F#             F
Tell a lie about where she's been.
A              G           D/F#          F
Send a pigeon, send a fax; write it on a post-it pad.
A             G            D/F#          F
Send a signal up in smoke, tap it out in Morse Code.
E                            A
I prefer a bad excuse, to no news!


[Verse 3]
    A
Her mama's been a little vague as to her whereabouts.
    A
Her sister says "I'm certain your romance has headed south."
D
I don't have a single doubt that she's still in love;
   A
My level of anxiety is just a product of...
G       E           A
Ooo-ooo-hoo-oo,  No news!


[Chorus]
          A          G
She could telephone, tell a friend,
D/F#             F
Tell a lie about where she's been.
A              G           D/F#          F
Send a pigeon, send a fax; write it on a post-it pad.
A             G            D/F#          F
Send a signal up in smoke, tap it out in Morse Code.
E
I prefer a bad excuse

[Bridge]
    A               G
She missed her bus, missed her plane;
D/F#            F
Surely this can be explained.
A            G             D/F#            F
Lost her car at the mall;  got locked in a bathroom stall.
A              G                 D/F#             F
Joined a cult, joined the Klan;  on the road with Pearl Jam.
A               G               D/F#           F
Buried with The Grateful Dead;  came back as a Parrot Head.
A             G             D/F#         F
Got derailed, got de-iced;  offered as a sacrifice.
A    G      D/F#                 F          A      G D/F# F
FBI, CIA;   If they've seen her they ain't saying
