G5                                    C5
I could be a millionaire if I had the money
F5                                     G5
I could own a mansion, no I don't think I'd like that
                                         C5
But I might write a song that makes you laugh, now that would be funny
F5                                             G5
And you could tell your friends in England you'd like that
C5                                  E5
But now I've chosen aeroplanes and boats to come between us
      C5                                                            F5   G5 
And a line or two on paper wouldn't go amiss  
C5                      E5
How is Worcestershire? Is it still the same between us?
       C5                       G5
Do you still use television to send you fast asleep?
        F5                          C5                 E5
Can you last another week? Does the cistern still leak?
      C5
Or have you found a man to mend it?
       E5             C5               E5
Oh, and by the way, how's your broken heart?
     C5                           F5
Is that mended too? I miss you
E5      C5                 G5
I miss you, I really do. 
                                            C5
I've been reading Browning, Keats and William Wordsworth
F5                                                       G5
And they all seem to be saying the same thing for me
                                                C5
Well I like the words they use, and I like the way they use them
F5                                             G5
You know, Home Thoughts From Abroad is such a beautiful poem
C5                                        E5
And I know how Robert Browning must have felt
C5                               F5                  G5
'Cause I'm feeling the same way about you
C5                               E5
Wondering what you're doing and if you need some help
 C5                                            E5
Do I still occupy your mind? Am I being so unkind?
F5                   G5                            C5
Do you find it very lonely, or have you found someone to laugh with?
             E5       C5              G5
Oh, and by the way, are you laughing now?
C5               E5
'Cause I'm not, I miss you
       C5             G5          C5         F5        G5
I miss you, I really do.
G5   C5    G5
I really do.
