  She threw her purse upon the bed 
F5                         C5 
  She looked around and shook her head 
F5                         C5 
  There's really nothing left, she said 
G5                          C5 
  There's nothing I ain't done 
F5                          C5 
  She wore your favorite dress tonight 
F5                           C5 
  She hoped her hair would catch the light 
F5                       C5 
  And you just sat there gettin' tight 
G5                     C5 
  On double shots of rum 
 

A5                    F5 
  You don't care what people say 
G5                      C5 
  They're gonna say it anyway 
A5                    F5 
  You don't hear what you can't use 
G5                       C5 
  It's always been the same old news 
A5                   F5 
  You don't beg and you don't plead 
G5                      C5 
  Or miss a thing that you don't need 
F5                 C5 
  She knew by the way you kissed her 
G5                  C5 
  When she's gone, you won't miss her 
F5    C5     F5    C5     F5    C5     G5    C5 
{instrumental} 
 
Morning comes on an old cat's paws 
And when the sun hits the walls 
The light's as bright as it ever was 
After or before 
And you wince as waking pounds your head 
And you drag your arm across the bed 
And the tangled sheets and the twisted spread 
Fall onto the floor 
 
And the kitchen table finds you silent 
If you had a thought, now you can't find it 
You take a long drag on your smoke 
And taste your coffee growing cold 
She didn't beg and you didn't plead 
She knew exactly how to leave 
The way she knew when you kissed her 
When she's gone, you won't miss her 
 
She didn't beg and you didn't plead 
She knew exactly when to leave 
The way she knew as you kissed her 
When she's gone, you won't miss her
