[verse 1]
Dm As her car pulls out the
Gm Bb driveway... and she don't wave goodbye
A Dm Gm Her last words echo in my mind
Bb Dm "Listen honey, I gotta get away"
A5 G5 Dm A5 G5
Dm Standing here watching her tail
Gm lights... as if they're some kind
Bb of sign
A Dm Gm Bb Fading into a memory... I just
A got tired of trying [chorus]
Dm F Bb Dm So long, I hate to see you go
Bb but I save my tears for later on
Dm down the road
Dm F Bb Dm How come you keep me holding on
Bb A Dm Knowing you won't be coming home

Dm Two days later I get a letter... a
Gm Bb picture of a room in some hotel
A Dm Gm Sitting framed up on the

G5 Dm A5 G5 quite well
Dm You've painted yourself in to a corner
Gm Now you're trying to paint
Bb something new
A Dm Gm And the lipstick on the letter
Bb A is a goodbye kiss from you [chorus]
