(F)Three days of snow in Birmingham,
Thought you would wonder where I am.
Rang our number all nite long,
It's no comfort on the telephone.
(Bb)Ran out and caught a midnight flight,
Thought a little love would make everything all right.
(F)The landlord said you moved away
and left me all your bills to pay.
(G)Look out baby,(Bb)You might have made your move too (F) soon.
(F)Left me with a keno card
This life in Vegas sure ain't hard.
I ran it up to about 50 grand
Cashed it in and held it in my hand.
(Bb)That kind of word can get around,
And make a lost love come up found.
(F)I hear you knocking baby, at my door
But you know you ain't living here no more,it's too bad(G)
(Bb)I think you made your move too (F) soon.
(SAX SOLO) F-Bb-F-G-Bb-F
(F)I've been from Spain to Tokyo from Africa to Tokyo
I never tried to make the news
I'm just a man who plays the blues.
(Bb)I take my lovin' everywhere
I come back, and they still care, you know
(F)One love ahead, one love behind.
One in my arms and one on my mind.
There's one thing (G) baby
(Bb)Inever make my move too soon(F)
Thought you would wonder where I am.
Rang our number all nite long,
It's no comfort on the telephone.
(Bb)Ran out and caught a midnight flight,
Thought a little love would make everything all right.
(F)The landlord said you moved away
and left me all your bills to pay.
(G)Look out baby,(Bb)You might have made your move too (F) soon.
(F)Left me with a keno card
This life in Vegas sure ain't hard.

Cashed it in and held it in my hand.

But you know you ain't living here no more,it's too bad(G)
