I don't care if you never come [C] home I don't mind if you just [G] keep on rolling away on a
distant [Em] sea Cause I [D] don't love you and you [G] don't cause a commotion when you come to [C] town
Give him a smile and he melts Have your lovers and friends cause it's all good and fine
But I [D] don't like yours and you don't [G] like mine

[C] I've got a problem,
[G] can you relate?
[Am] I've got a woman,
[G] calling my name
[C] We made a vow,
