C Am F G
See that big blue note, over there on the counter
C Am F G
You don't wanna read that thing, man, it's a real get-you-downer
C Am F G
But don't you dare say nothin' else, bad about her
C Am F G
She's gone
No, no, no, no, don't, don't throw it away, 'Cause tonight, I might need it
It gets real lonely around here at night some times, and I have to reread it
Besides, you can show it to the boys down town They won't believe that
She's gone
Chorus:
F Em
There used to be a time I was all she ever wanted
F G C
All the man that she'll ever need
F Em
I come home to find just like that she's up and vanished
F G
And the only thing she left behind for me
