[D] [A]
[E] [A]
He was never there when needed
[D] And oh how much she pleaded
Saying darling, [D]
won't [A] you stay home just one [E] time?
He'd [A] just smile and say I'm sorry
[D] Well, there's no need to worry
Just [A] go to meet [D] some [A] army buddies
Drink [E] some beer
[A] fight the war
in the kitchen
making wishes
[D] As she tidies up the dishes
[A] of another
[D] [A] Lonely weekend
And the wine she drank [E] alone
[A] And the nights they hold no pity
[D] in the cold of New York City
[A] While she waits [D] there in [A] the darkness
[E] Terry's key turn
[A] in the door
Then one night
He came home sober
[D] With a longing just
to hold her
[A] When he found [D] the notes [A] she'd written
waiting by
[E] Telephone [Ab] and [A] she said I'll always love you
[D] And I never will
Forget you
[A] But I just [D] can't take [A] this lonely
[Bm] feeling
[A] anymore
She [E] said I'm going to
California to [D] taste the sunshine and [A] the wine
[D] Sit beside the [A] rolling ocean
And slowly pass [E] the time
[A] Reading books [D] and all [A] love stories
[D] And forget about
my worries
[A] and maybe
[D] Who [A] knows maybe?
[E] We'll meet again [A] sometime
Now the nights are long
lonely
[D] As he sits and watches TV
[A] drinking beer [D] and [A] chase and whiskey
wondering where it all [E] went wrong
[A] And his eyes are tired
and burning
[D] From the dreams that keep returning
[A] And [D] all is [A] yesterday
They [E] won't leave him
[A] alone
She [E] said I'm going to California
To [D] taste the sunshine and [A] the wine
[D] Sit beside the [A] rolling ocean
And slowly pass [E] the time
[A] Reading books [D] and all [A] love stories
[D] And forget about
