Standard (EADGBE)

See that big blue note, over there on the counter

You don't wanna read that thing, man, it's a real get-you-downer

But don't you dare say nothin' else, bad about her

She's gone

No, no, no, no, don't, don't throw it away, 'Cause tonight, I might need it

It gets real lonely around here at night some times, and I have to reread it

Besides, you can show it to the boys down town They won't believe that

She's gone

Chorus

 There used to be a time I was all she ever wanted

All the man that she'll ever need

 I come home to find just like that she's up and vanished

 And the only thing she left behind for me
