C        Am         F            G 
See that big blue note, over there on the counter 
C                    Am                      F            G 
You don't wanna read that thing, man, it's a real get-you-downer 
C                  Am                F         G 
But don't you dare say nothin' else, bad about her 
C          Am  F  G 
She's gone 
 
No, no, no, no, don't, don't throw it away, 'Cause tonight, I might need it 
It gets real lonely around here at night some times, and I have to reread it 
Besides, you can show it to the boys down town They won't believe that  
She's gone 
 
 
Chorus: 
                   F          Em 
There used to be a time I was all she ever wanted 
F                G           C 
All the man that she'll ever need 
               F              Em  
I come home to find just like that she's up and vanished 
        F                              G 
And the only thing she left behind for me
