The Day You Went Away
By Roger Creager
G D C
A crowded restaurant and here you are
G D C
I'm doing fine but you have come so far
G D C
I ask how long it?s been like I don?t know
G D
I?ve been counting the days since you?ve been gone
C
You?d think my love would show
[Chorus]
G D C
But I hear you?re doing great out on your own
G D C
You?re having a ball, have friends that call you on the telephone
G B7 Em C
You?ve got hopes, You?ve got dreams , you?ve really got it made
C G
I used to feel the same until the day you went away
G D C
I don?t know why I thought you?d be around
G D C
Looking back I see I really held you down
G D C
Thinking that I?d always have it all,
G D C
I hate the way you?re riding high then all at once you take the fall
[Chorus]
Em D C
Everyone is looking right at you
G D C
When you walk in you really steal the show
Em D C
You?re the one thing I should?ve held on to
Am G C D
But standing today I'm trying like hell to let you go
