[G] [G] [C]
He was never there when needed, [F] and oh how much she pleaded,
[C] Saying, darling, won't you stay home [G] just one time.
He [C] just smiled and said, I'm sorry, [F] but there's no need to worry.
[C] Home to meet some army buddies, [G] drink some beer and fight [C] the war.
In the kitchen making wishes [F] as she tidies up the dishes.
[C] On another lonely weekend on a wine she [G] drank alone.
And the nights [C] they hold no pity [F] in the cold of New York City.
[C] As she waits there in the darkness to [G] hear his key turn [C] in the door.
Then one night he came home sober [F] with a longing just to hold her.
[C] When he found a note she'd written playing by the [G] telephone.

But [C] I just can't take this lonely [G] feeling
[C] anymore.
She [G] said, I'm going to California to [F] taste the sunshine and [C] the wine.
[F] Sit beside the [C] rolling ocean and slowly [G] pass the time.
[C] Read books and all the love stories [F] and forget about my worries.
[C] And maybe, who knows, maybe [G] we'll meet again [C] sometime.
[G] [C]
Now the nights are long and lonely [F] as he sits and watches TV.
[C] Drinking beer and chasing whiskey, wondering where it [G] all went wrong.
[C] And his eyes are tired and burning [F] from the dreams that keep returning.
[C] And all his yesterdays, sure [G] they won't leave him [C] alone.
