CI could live my whole Glife
AmWithout a phone Emcall
The Flikes of which CI got toGday
CIt was only my Gwife 
Said Amhello then gooEmdbye 
And tFold me she's Ggoing awCayG  
CI didn't cGry
It was Amall cut and Emdry
I hFung up before CI realiGzed
I Cturned up my Gstereo
I wAmalked to the wEmindow
And Fstared at the Gstorm clouds outCside
CI play classical Gmusic Amwhen it rainsEm  
I play Fcountry when CI am in pGain
