[Verse 1]

   Am           G          Am
It just started raining, I hear 
            G
children playing
      Am                G      Am
We're waiting, we'll be eating 
     G   Am     G
soon
    Am            G         
The wood stove is burning, my 
  Am           G
typewriter's learning
    Am         G          Am     
The only thing missing is you
G   Am     G



[Chorus]

           C         G           
I couldn't say, so I sat down to 
C           Fmaj7
write it instead
      C           G         C    
I'm afraid if you stay away I 
      Fmaj7       C
might forget
  G        Am     G   Am     G
Stop being dead


[Verse 2]

    Am             G         Am
I'm thinking about buying an old 
house
    G         Am              G  
And trying to fix it, I could use
      Am     G   Am     G
 some help
  Am          G            Am    
A home with a garden, they say 
     G
it's a bargain

But I can't do it myself


[Chorus]

           C         G           
I couldn't say, so I sat down to 
C           Fmaj7
write it instead
      C           G         C    
I'm afraid if you stay away I 
      Fmaj7       C
might forget
  G        C        Dm
Stop being dead


[Bridge]

                C
When will you arrive
               G               
I'll get in my car and drive to 
     C              Dm
wherever you are
               C
Call me on the phone
                    G
It's taking way too long
        C
Way too long

[Verse 3]

   Am           G             Am 
It just started raining, your 
            G
grand kids are playing
      Am                G      Am
We're waiting, we'll be eating 
     G   Am     G
soon
    Am            G         
The wood stove is burning, my

typewriter's learning
    Am         G          Am     
The only thing missing is you
G   Am     G


[Verse 4]

      Am        G          Am    
I got two of my own, and a third 
        G          Am
will be born in November
    G                 Am     G   
You would be proud of me
Am     G

   Am       G                 Am 
So much has changed since you 
           G
left it feels strange
     Am      G       Am
It's already 1983
