E
Well the lights go off and the curtains go down
A
Like an old romance without any sound
    E                                                  B      B7
You don't get the story but the heartache still comes through
    E
And right or wrong It never comes up it seems
          A
It's just taken for granted by the girl of your dreams
    E             B7                E    E7
And I guess I was taken for granted too

[Chorus]
         A
Spent my last six dollars on a bottle of whiskey
      E
Drove out past your place but that was just wishful thinking
A                                E
You were there You had somebody new
      A
And I sat and I watched the sun set on the hill
E
Funny how you're sure the time's standing still
          B                              B7       E
While the world keeps moving 'round and 'round on you

[Verse]
E
And you must have heard the sound of the truck
          A
Cause the lights went back down and I saw you get up
     E                                        B    B7
But I drove away - tell me what else was I to do?
     E
And I wish we all had just a tiny compartment
A
A little black box where we could put our heartaches
       E                        B        B7     E
'Cause I'd lock mine in and I'd give the key to you

[Chorus]
         A
Spent my last six dollars on a bottle of whiskey
      E
Drove out past your place but that was just wishful thinking
A                                E
You were there You had somebody new
      A
And I sat and I watched the sun set on the hill
E
Funny how you're sure the time's standing still
          B                              B7       E
While the world keeps moving 'round and 'round on you
