[Verse 1]
AmEvery night she Fsleeps alone
AmAnd by her bed she Fputs the phone
AmAnd every morning Fafter that
AmShe takes the phone and Fputs it back
[Chorus]
CNow he's got a wife back Ghome and three kids up and Cgrown
But these are things that go Funsaid
CHe might call her from the Groad just in time
To say 'AmHello' and 'FGoodbye' againC  
[Verse 2]
She keeps his picture tucked Faway
She thinks she'll have it Amframed some day
And maybe he'll come Fsee it there
Hanging by her Amrocking chair
CIn a corner of her Froom, on a Sunday Cafternoon
When all the world is Fdull and gray
CShe might close her eyes and Fsit, rocking gently for a Ambit
Till all the bad thoughts go Faway
AmBack when children Fplayed their games
AmLondon bridge and FJesse James
AmShe captured flags, she Fbounced the ball
AmAnd every time she Fbeat them all
[Bridge]
CAnd now she comes home to her Gcat in a three room walk up Cflat
And plays a game of Fsolitaire, Cwell she made a fist last Gnight
And she broke the hallway Amlight and the pieces scattered Feverywhere
[Chorus]
CNow he's got a wife back Ghome and three kids up and Cgrown
But these are things that go Funsaid
CHe might call her from the Groad just in time
To say 'AmHello' and 'FGoodbye' againC

[Verse 1]

Am F

Every night she sleeps alone

Am F

And by her bed she puts the phone

Am F

And every morning after that

Am F

She takes the phone and puts it back

[Chorus]

C G C

Now he's got a wife back home and three kids up and grown

But these are things that go unsaid

C G

He might call her from the road just in time

Am F C

To say 'Hello' and 'Goodbye' again

[Verse 2]

She keeps his picture tucked away

She thinks she'll have it framed some day

And maybe he'll come see it there

Hanging by her rocking chair

C F C

In a corner of her room, on a Sunday afternoon

When all the world is dull and gray

C F Am

She might close her eyes and sit, rocking gently for a bit

Till all the bad thoughts go away

Am F

Back when children played their games

Am F

London bridge and Jesse James

Am F

She captured flags, she bounced the ball

Am F

And every time she beat them all

[Bridge]

C G C

And now she comes home to her cat in a three room walk up flat

F C G

And plays a game of solitaire, well she made a fist last night

Am F

And she broke the hallway light and the pieces scattered everywhere

[Chorus]

C G C

Now he's got a wife back home and three kids up and grown

But these are things that go unsaid

C G

He might call her from the road just in time

Am F C

To say 'Hello' and 'Goodbye' again
