I got an Einvitation from a Bgirl I used to know back EhomeE7  
It was an Ainvitation asking C#mme to teleF#phoneB  
She said, it's Egetting lonely E7here
And I've been Agone for close a Amyear
I took the Efirst flight out to meet the Bgirl I used to know back Ehome
C#m,  B  E  
C#m
She Bmet me Eoff the flight, a million Bdollars in her long red EgownE7  
With a Aman in a black hat just to C#mdrive us back to F#townB  
Now the Efaces all look the E7same
And all the Aplaces have the same old Amnames
But in a Eyear you've changed just like the Bgirl I used to know back Ahome
Yes, in a Eyear you've changed just like the Bgirl I used to know back Ehome
 AMaybe it's Btrue that I go Eon and on and on
 AMaybe it's Btrue that I'm the C#mlonely one alone
What can I Asay to you, what can I Bsay to you?
Yes, in a Eyear you've changed just like the Bgirl I used to know back Ehome
C#m,  B  E  
C#m,  B  E  
C#m,  B  E  
C#m,  B   A  B  
It took another year before I started getting itchy toes
And then I had to leave, but that's the way the story goes
Well I reckon if she'd made me stay
I'd never live to see another day
I took the first flight out and left the girl I used to know back home
Maybe it's true that I go on and on and on
Maybe it's true that I'm the lonely one alone
What can I say to you, what can I say to you?
I took the first flight out and left the girl I used to know back home
Back Ehome, I C#mleft the girl Bback Ehome
 C#mI left the girl Bback Ehome
 C#mI left the girl Bback Ehome
 C#mI left the girl Bback Ehome
 C#mI left the girl Bback Ehome
