Intro:  G C G C G 
 
             G                           C                  G 
I called her up to say I'm sorry, I just can't have lunch today 
          G         G/F#            Em     D         C 
Cause the boss just called and he's flying in from L.A. 
           G  
And as the phone rang, I remembered the time 
    C                     G 
How simple things used to be 
         G                 G/F#      Em           D          C 
Then her voice came on the line, not her, but the answer machine 
 
 
Chorus 
           C                            D               Em            D  C 
She said, "I'm sorry, I can't take your call, cause I'm packing up to go away 
    G               C           Am                  D 
And John, if that's you're just cancellin' lunch anyway 
       Em               C         G                  C 
Ah you used to find the time, but now you don't even try 
          G                        C       D          G D  C 
So at the sound of the tone you're on your own...goodbye. 
 
I ran down to the street and I caught a cab, God I had to get back home 
But the house was empty, except for the code-a-phone 
And as the tears came, I remembered the time, how happy we used to be 
And I'll never forget the last words she ever said to me 
 
Chorus 
             Em               C         G                  C 
She said you used to find the time, but now you don't even try 
So at the sound of the tone, you're on your own.......goodbye
