G                                    C               G
The barroom crowd is thinning out it must be getting late

                                                     D7
But if I’m free tomorrow night I’ll meet you here by eight

     G                                    C                G
It’s hard to kiss two lips goodbye that’s sweeter than the wine

    C               G            D7            G
The hardest part of all is going home to do my time


         C                                G
From the minute I walk through the door I know how it will be

     C                                  G                D7
I’ll sit across the room and wish she’d stop starring at me

G                                  C                  G
We both tried but it’s no good our love’s dead on the vine

    C              G                   D7            G
Yet I must pay for loving you by going home to do my time


                                  C                G
I’ve never found the happiness at home I find with you

                                                              D7
And if she were all that’s holding me I’d make my dreams come true

    G                              C              G
But you know how much I love those little kids of mine

        C               G             D7            G
They’re all I’ve got to keep me going home to do my time


         C                                G
From the minute I walk through the door I know how it will be

     C                                  G                D7
I’ll sit across the room and wish she’d stop starring at me

G                                  C                  G
We both tried but it’s no good our love’s dead on the vine

    C              G                   D7            G
Yet I must pay for loving you by going home to do my time
