  She threw her purse upon the bed 
F                         C 
  She looked around and shook her head 
F                         C 
  There's really nothing left, she said 
G                          C 
  There's nothing I ain't done 
F                          C 
  She wore your favorite dress tonight 
F                           C 
  She hoped her hair would catch the light 
F                       C 
  And you just sat there gettin' tight 
G                     C 
  On double shots of rum 
 
Am                    F 
  You don't care what people say 
G                      C 
  They're gonna say it anyway 
Am                    F 
  You don't hear what you can't use 
G                       C 
  It's always been the same old news 
Am                   F 
  You don't beg and you don't plead 
G                      C 
  Or miss a thing that you don't need 
F                 C 
  She knew by the way you kissed her 
G                  C 
  When she's gone, you won't miss her 
 
F    C     F    C     F    C     G    C

Morning comes on an old cat's paws 
And when the sun hits the walls 
The light's as bright as it ever was 
After or before 
And you wince as waking pounds your head 
And you drag your arm across the bed 
And the tangled sheets and the twisted spread 
Fall onto the floor 
 
And the kitchen table finds you silent 
If you had a thought, now you can't find it 
You take a long drag on your smoke 
And taste your coffee growing cold 
She didn't beg and you didn't plead 
She knew exactly how to leave 
The way she knew when you kissed her 
When she's gone, you won't miss her 
 
She didn't beg and you didn't plead 
She knew exactly when to leave 
The way she knew as you kissed her 
When she's gone, you won't miss her 
 
F    C     F    C     F    C     G    C
