1. What a rotten day this turned out to be,

        G                           A                        D

    I still can’t believe she'd leave so easily.

                    G                                       A

    She just got all her things threw ‘em into a pile,

                      D                                 G

    then she loaded her car and set out for a while,

             D                                A                           G

    she done this before, but this time she didn't cry.

 

                         D                                     A

That’s why im sittin’ on the front steps, staring down the road,

   G                                                   D

wondering if she'll come back, this time I don't know,

 G                                    D

after she packed when she looked back,

    A                                     D

there were no tears in her eyes.

          G                                              D

And that's got me worried thinking maybe my baby's

  A                              D

gotten good at goodbye.                       +  D - G - A - G (2x)

 

                 D                  G                                 D

2. All the times before she'd break down and cry,

         G                                              A                                    D

    she'd make her threats, but her heart wasn't set on goodbye.

                     G                                    A

    She just wanted me to hear what she had to say,

             D                                 G

    now I'm lost for words and she went away,

               D                          A                          G

    she may not return, for this time she didnt cry.
