Oh why don't you call when you say you will my dear

What if I leave? What if I leave?
D G D G
Why don't you call? Don't you miss me at all?
D G D G
Left a long, long time ago to where the weather was better for his kind

Why won't you play with a girl who loves your face?

I may be a fool all along but I never understood these rules

So I grow up longing for another
With the windy city left behind to my lover
D G D G
Will you ever know the way I cry

You were gone that day, so you may have missed my goodbye
A Bm G
Sometimes in my dreams I hear you say
A Bm G
"If you really care you won't go away"
[Chorus 2x]
