[Verse]
G
Wondering why you left me
C G
After all I've tried to do
G
You know I miss you baby
D
And the children miss you too
G
Tonight we done the dishes
C G
Just to keep your memory clear
G C
I cooled the hot dishwater
G C G
With my cold and bitter tears
[Verse]
G
The words which I've just spoke
C G
Is the truth, I swear to God
G
I'm sorry if I hurt you
D
Sometimes I'm nervous, I work so hard
G
I still love you, my darling
C G
But we're lost without you here

I cooled the hot dishwater
G C G
With my cold and bitter tears
[Bridge]
C
It's wintertime already
G
Christmas will be here soon
D
It'll be a sad, sad occasion
C G
If you're not in the dining room
C
I hate to do the dishes
G
And I know the reason why
D C
Putting on your apron
G
Makes me want to cry
[Verse]
G
To keep our home together
C G
I done the best I could
G
Your true reason for leaving
D
Honey, I never understood
G
I still love you my darlin'
C G
But the children want you here
C
I cool the hot dishwater
G C G
With my cold and bitter tears
[Outro]
G C
I cool the hot dishwater
G C G
With my cold and bitter tears
