Lyle Lovett – Shes Leaving Me Because She Really Wants To (Guitar)

E            A
Thank you my friend,

                           E
I sincerely appreciate the words you say,

                                           A
And how she'll grieve and miss me when she goes away,

E        A
Say them again,

E
I can't believe,

                                          A
And how she'll want to come back home and never leave.

          D       A
But she's leaving me

                   D
Because she really wants to,

    E                          A
And she'll be happy when she's gone,

A                             D
She'll be happy, she'll be so very happy,

                               E                                    A
She'll dance and sing and even learn to fly and spend her time with anyone but me.

E               A
What's that you say?

                                      E
That I'll get over her the more that time goes by,

                               A
When all I have to do is sit around and cry.

    E            A
No, she won't be back,

                                E
I'd be a fool to try and fool myself that way.

                                             A
Because she hasn't had one since the day she came to stay.

          D       A
But she's leaving me

                   D
Because she really wants to,

    E                          A
And she'll be happy when she's gone,

A                             D
She'll be happy, she'll be so very happy,

                               E                                    A
She'll dance and sing and even learn to fly and spend her time with anyone but me.

A                          D
She'll be happy when she's gone

E                          A
She'll be happy when she's gone

A                          D
She'll be happy when she's gone

E                          A
She'll be happy when she's gone
