Mary Chapin Carpenter – Goodbye Again (Guitar)

Am              F
Every night she sleeps alone

Am                 F
And by her bed she puts the phone

Am                F
And every morning after that

Am                      F
She takes the phone and puts it back

C                        G                          C
Now he's got a wife back home and three kids up and grown

                             F
But these are things that go unsaid

C                          G
He might call her from the road just in time

        Am          F              C
To say 'Hello' and 'Goodbye' again

                             F
She keeps his picture tucked away

                          Am
She thinks she'll have it framed some day

                     F
And maybe he'll come see it there

               Am
Hanging by her rocking chair

C                  F                 C
In a corner of her room, on a Sunday afternoon

                      F
When all the world is dull and gray

C                            F                         Am
She might close her eyes and sit, rocking gently for a bit

                             F
Till all the bad thoughts go away

Am                 F
Back when children played their games

Am                F
London bridge and Jesse James

Am                      F
She captured flags, she bounced the ball

Am                 F
And every time she beat them all

C                             G                           C
And now she comes home to her cat in a three room walk up flat

                    F          C                         G
And plays a game of solitaire, well she made a fist last night

                          Am                             F
And she broke the hallway light and the pieces scattered everywhere

C                        G                          C
Now he's got a wife back home and three kids up and grown

                             F
But these are things that go unsaid

C                          G
He might call her from the road just in time

        Am          F              C
To say 'Hello' and 'Goodbye' again
