[verse 1] 
Dm                                   Gm                      Bb
As her car pulls out the driveway... and she don't wave goodbye
A                   Dm Gm        Bb                       Dm A5 G5   Dm A5 G5
Her last words echo in my mind "Listen honey, I gotta get away"
Dm                                        Gm                         Bb
Standing here watching her tail lights... as if they're some kind of sign
A              Dm Gm     Bb                   A
Fading into a memory... I just got tired of trying

[chorus]
Dm F       Bb              Dm
So long, I hate to see you go
Bb                                        Dm 
but I save my tears for later on down the road
Dm  F        Bb              Dm
How come you keep me holding on
Bb           A               Dm A5 G5      
Knowing you won't be coming home
    A                Dm A5 G5         Dm A5 G5
You won't be coming home

[verse 2] 
Dm                                 Gm                         Bb
Two days later I get a letter... a picture of a room in some hotel
A                        Dm Gm       Bb                      Dm A5 G5     Dm A5 G5
Sitting framed up on the table... a picture that I know quite well
Dm
You've painted yourself in to a corner
Gm                                    Bb
Now you're trying to paint something new
A                       Dm  Gm       Bb                A
And the lipstick on the letter is a goodbye kiss from you

[chorus] 
Dm F       Bb              Dm
So long, I hate to see you go
Bb                                        Dm 
but I save my tears for later on down the road
Dm  F        Bb              Dm
How come you keep me holding on
Bb           A               Dm A5 G5      
Knowing you won't be coming home
    A                Dm A5 G5         Dm A5 G5
You won't be coming home

[bridge]
C               Gm(add A)       Bb                      F(add E)
I still set the table...       still set it for you and me
C             Gm(add A)       Bb                      A    A7
It's become a habit...       my own personal make believe

[solo]

[chorus]
Dm F       Bb              Dm
So long, I hate to see you go
Bb                                        Dm 
but I save my tears for later on down the road
Dm  F        Bb              Dm
How come you keep me holding on
Bb           A               Dm A5 G5      
Knowing you won't be coming home
    A                Dm A5 G5         Dm A5 G5
You won't be coming home
