Got a sEmuitcase
Got a mGouth guard
Got a Cpocket full of cAmhange
I’ve been tGhinking and a Emwondering 
Why I sent my Cgood gal Gaway
There’s an Emaching in my bGelly
There’s a fCever in my Amhead
An a Ggentle warm rEmeminder
All I Chad once is Gdead
I gave you sEhelter, gave you cGomfort
Thru the Cseasons and the Amyears
And there’s Gsomething I’ve been Emmissing 
And I Ccan’t find it Ghere
There’s a Emskyline oh rGeflecting
Of a Chighway white and Amblue
And it’s Gmore than just a Emfeeling 
That there’s Cmore that I must Gdo
Oh my Emdarling I’m Gsorry 
Did not Cmean to cause you Ampain
And I’Cll keep you close to my Amheart

[Intro]

Got a suitcase

Got a mouth guard

C Am

Got a pocket full of change

G Em

I’ve been thinking and a wondering

C G

Why I sent my good gal away

Em G

There’s an aching in my belly

C Am

There’s a fever in my head

G Em

An a gentle warm reminder

C G

All I had once is dead

E G

I gave you shelter, gave you comfort

C Am

Thru the seasons and the years

G Em

And there’s something I’ve been missing

C G

And I can’t find it here

Em G

There’s a skyline oh reflecting

C Am

Of a highway white and blue

G Em

And it’s more than just a feeling

C G

That there’s more that I must do

Em G

Oh my darling I’m sorry

C Am

Did not mean to cause you pain

C Am

And I’ll keep you close to my heart

C G

Thru the wind and the rain
