Mary Chapin Carpenter - Goodbye again

^AmEvery night she ^Fsleeps alone ^AmAnd by her bed she ^Fputs the phone ^AmAnd every morning ^Fafter that ^AmShe takes the phone and ^Fputs it back

^CNow he's got a wife back ^Ghome and three kids up and ^Cgrown But these are things that go ^Funsaid ^CHe might call her from the ^Groad just in time To say '^AmHello' and '^FGoodbye' again ^C

She keeps his picture tucked ^Faway She thinks she'll have it ^Amframed some day And maybe he'll come ^Fsee it there Hanging by her ^Amrocking chair ^CIn a corner of her ^Froom, on a Sunday ^Cafternoon When all the world is ^Fdull and gray ^CShe might close her eyes and ^Fsit, rocking gently for a ^Ambit Till all the bad thoughts go ^Faway ^AmBack when children ^Fplayed their games ^AmLondon bridge and ^FJesse James ^AmShe captured flags, she ^Fbounced the ball ^AmAnd every time she ^Fbeat them all

^CAnd now she comes home to her ^Gcat in a three room walk up ^Cflat And plays a game of ^Fsolitaire, ^Cwell she made a fist last ^Gnight And she broke the hallway ^Amlight and the pieces scattered ^Feverywhere

^CNow he's got a wife back ^Ghome and three kids up and ^Cgrown But these are things that go ^Funsaid ^CHe might call her from the ^Groad just in time To say '^AmHello' and '^FGoodbye' again ^C
