With the suitcase back [Gm] again
[Eb]

[Cm] These days she never stays for long
Good things [F] come to [Cm] those who wait
_ Here [F] _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] she comes
[D] Well it's like he said
I'm an [Am] outdoor [D] girl
And you're late [C] again
[D] Married to the [C] king of the underworld
[D] She forgot her little [C] thing called [D] strength _
_ [C] Where [D] you [C] been?
