[Verse]
E E7
When she picked up the telephone,
Badd11 E7
His voice came on the line.
E E7
She said This can't be happening,
Badd11 E7
An' tears fell from her eyes,
E E7
She said What am I supposed to do,
G#m C#m
"I can't handle losin' you,
F#m7 G#m A
He said I just had to call to say goodbye,
A B E
One last time
[Verse]
E E7
He said There are some things in this life,
Badd11 E7
That are out of our control.
E E7
Like who we fall in love with,
Badd11 E7
And when it's time to go,
E E7
She said What about the plans we had,
G#m C#m
He said This connection's gettin' bad,
F#m7 G#m A
Now c'mon baby, let me hear you smile,
A B E
One last time."
[Chorus]
A
She started to apologise,
B
For all the things that she'd done wrong,
C#m
She said I would have loved you better,
B-G#m-G-A
If only I'd known."
A
He said You were the perfect wife,
E B
Promise me you'll go on with your life,
G#m
She said The boys won't understand,
C#m B A -E-Bm-A-G
He said Tell 'em Daddy loves 'em and, be strong, whoa,
[Verse]
E E7
He said Hon, I've gotta go,
Badd11 E7
She said Don't you dare hang up.
E E7
There's so many things I need to say.
Badd11 E7
I love you so much,
E E7
I was almost like she felt him leave.
G#m C#m
She cried out Can you still hear me,
F#m7 G#m
She fell down on the kitchen floor,
A
When the signal died,
F#m7 G#m A
As the pilot tried to pull out of the dive.
A B
One last......
