Verse 1:
      D5       D5     D5
      One   less bell to answer
      B5 F#5 B5    F#5
      One less egg to fry
      G5         C#5    F#5
      One less man to pick up after
      B5          E5   E5
      I should be happy

      But all  I    do    is      cry

      Since he left my life's so empty

Bridge:

      Each time the doorbell rings I still run
                  C5      C5
      I don't know how in the world
              F5  C5
      To stop thinking of him

      'Cause I still love him so
                   E5            A5
      I spend each day the way I start out

      Crying my heart out

Coda:
       D5     D5     D5
      (One less bell to answer)    Why did he leave me
       B5 F#5 E5 F#5 G5 G5
      (Why, why, why   did    he   leave)

      (One less bell to answer)     Now I've got one less egg to fry
                              One less egg to fry
      (Why, why, why did he leave)  And all I do is cry
      (One less bell to answer)     Because a man told me goodbye
      (Why, why, why did he leave)
      (One less bell to answer)     Somebody tell me please
                              Where did he go, why did he go
      (Why, why, why did he leave)  How could he leave me
