INTRO:

VERSE 1:
        D             Cadd9          Em7   G        D
You can see it in her letters on the paper with her pen
    D                   Cadd9                  Em7    G     D
Her response is getting stronger I think she's coming round again
D            Cadd9          Em7    G  D
Tell me Mrs. Rita what's it say in my tarot
D                Cadd9          Em7    G        D
Read my palm and tell me why do lovers come and go

CHORUS:
              Em           A           Em            A
Is she coming round for me once again, around or was that just the end
G                 A            D
I just hope she's coming round again

VERSE 2:
          D              Cadd9        Em7       G       D
I've been keeping myself busy with my books and with my tapes
D                Cadd9             Em7       G        D
Every day's much better since I've slowed my drinking pace
            D              Cadd9            Em7       G      D
There's no swimming in the bottle it's just someplace we all drown
  D              Cadd9          Em7   G       D
I lost myself in sorrow lost my confidence in doubt
               Em           A           Em            A
Is she coming 'round for me once again, around or was that just the end
G                 A            D
I just hope she's coming round again

BRIDGE:
A                  
Get in the car and drive through town
G                  D   Dsus4 D
Down the block and back around
A                                      G
Pretending that she's there with me we drive
D
Gone forever...

SOLO:
D - Cadd9 - Em7 - G - D

VERSE 3:
   D                 Cadd9             Em7   G       D
My patience keeps me plaintive my high hopes keep me alone
   D               Cadd9         Em7       G         D
My lover's will is shaken I wish she would just come home
   D            Cadd9          Em7    G  D
So tell me Mrs. Rita what's it say in my tarot
D                Cadd9          Em7    G        D
Read my palm and tell me why do lovers come and go
