    A7sus4      D    D4 D     D/A  D/C  D     D4 D
You packed your bags,      as I    re - call,
    D/A D/C    D     D4 D    D/A  D/C D      D4 D
And you walked slowly     ...down the hall,
                    G        G4  G               G    G4  G
You said you had to get away...     to ease your mind,
    D/A D/C D      D4  D              D/A   D/C D     D4  D

If a    woman      ...could die  of  tears,

Na - than Jones,    ...I wouldn't be  here,
                    G                  G4               G  G4  G
The key that you're holding (Holding!)  ...won't fit my door,
    D/A     D/C  D                   D/A  D/C D     D4  D
And there's no   room in my heart for you no  more
