He was never there when needed & oh how much she pleaded
G D
Saying darling won't you stay home just one time
G C G C Am
He'd just smile and say I'm sorry but there's no need to worry
G C G D7 G
Just gonna meet some army Buddies drink some beer & fight the war.
G C Am
In the Kitchen making wishes as she tidies up the dishes
G D7
On another lonely weekend And the wine she drank alone
G C G C Am
And the nights they hold no pity in the cold of New York City
G C G D7 G
As she waits there in the darkness to hear his key turn in the door
G C Am
Then one night he came home sober with a longing just to hold her
G D G
When he found the note she'd written waiting by the telephone
C Am G C
And she said "I'll always love you and never will forget you
G C D7 G
But I just can't take this lonely feeling anymore"
D D7 C G
She said I'm going to California to taste the sunshine and the wine
C G D7
Sit beside the rolling ocean and slowly pass the time
G C G C Am
Reading books and old love stories and forget about my worries
G C G D D7 G
And maybe who knows maybe we'll meet again someday.
G C Am
Now the nights are cold and lonely as he sits and watches TV
G D7
Drinking beer and chasing whiskey wondering where it all went wrong
G C G C Am
And his eyes are tired and burning from the dreams that keep returning
G C G D7 G
And all his yesterdays they won't leave him alone.
