I didn't cheat,   I didn't lie,  So her leavin took me by surprise 
G5                        D5 
Just a note on the table sayin were through. 
G5                  D5 
At first I went crazy so it took me some time 
      E5            C5 
But I finally read between the lines

I didn't tell her  each day I loved her

I took it for granted some how she knew

I didn't hold her  when she needed a shoulder

Its easy to see why her loved died, she was planning her nights by the TV guide. 
G5                        D5 
She needed me  with her more than I knew 
G5                  D5                  E5            C5 
I was to busy workin,  getting ahead,  when I should have been home loving her instead

Its not what I did,  its what I didn't do
