[Intro]
G Dsus4 G Dsus4
[Verse]
Em
She packed that Pontiac like a pack rat piled high with paper sacks
G
Two quarts of oil, her calico cat, man I never seen a woman get so mad
Em
She caught me by surprise when goodbye rang into the night like a steel windchime
G D
Caught in a storm that was gettin' worse and she just grabbed her purse
C D
I can't believe she said it first, 'cause
[Chorus]
G G/F#
I was gonna leave tomorrow anyway
Em
I had my car all gassed up, everything was so in place
F C
I let her have her glory, let her think my heart would break and that's okay
D G
I was gonna leave tomorrow anyway
[Intro]
Em G
I watched her taillights disappear, grabbed a beer, chugged it down so my eyes could clear
G
And fear appeared and suddenly silence was the only thing my heart could hear
Em G
And this room is a tomb with empty walls, a broken broom, with marks of leavin' on the floor
D
Made by her shoes, like she knew what I was gonna do
C D
Still I can't believe she left so soon
[Chorus]
[Solo]
[Bridge]
D C
I bet she's somewhere between Albuquerque, Amarillo
Em G C
Eatin' at our favorite cafe
Am D
I wish I had the guts to call just so she could hear me say
[Chorus]
G G/F#
Hey I was gonna leave tomorrow anyway
Em
I had my car all gassed up, everything was so in place
F C
I let her have her glory, let her think my heart would break and that's okay
D
I was gonna leave tomorrow
D G
I was gonna leave tomorrow anyway, yeah
[Outro]
