So Long

     C                    G                           F
When I read your letter I couldn't believe that you'd gone.
C                         G                   F
I dialled your number but no one answered the phone
G                                    F
  I asked your friends to tell me if they knew where you were,
G                                      F
  They said they thought that you were ill.

[Verse]
  C                    G                          F
I hired a detective to try and find out where you are.
   C                        G                       F
He managed to trace you, he said you were living in France.
G                               F
  A watchman saw you climb into someone else's car
G                               F
  And drive off laughing in the night.

[Chorus]
                    C        F
Why didn't you tell me.
                  C          F
Not leave me this way.
                         C        F
Ooh, you could have told me
                  C          F
Not waited for so long.

[Verse]
  C                         G                        F
I tried to forget you but I found myself walking the street.
  C                      G                       F
I went to the doctor and he gave me something to sleep.
G                              F
  I sent you telegrams but you haven't answered one.
G                            F
  Your mother told me I best leave you well alone.
G                                    F
  I hope you're satisfied now you've done this thing to me.
G                                        F
  I hope you're pleased with what you've done.

[Chorus]
                    C        F
Why didn't you tell me.
                  C          F
Not leave me this way.
                         C        F
Ooh, you could have told me
                  C          F
Not waited for so long.

[Bridge]
       G                          F
For so long I never realised just exactly who you were.
       G                         F
For so long I never realised the girl I had before.
       G                                      F
For so long I hope you're satisfied you won't hear from me again.
       G                                           F
For so long I hope you're pleased with what you've done.

[Chorus]
                    C        F
Why didn't you tell me.
                  C          F
Not leave me this way.
                          C        F
Ooh, you should have told me
                  C          F
Not waited for so long.
