G                                    C 
I could be a millionaire if I had the money 
F                                     G 
I could own a mansion, no I don't think I'd like that 
                                         C 
But I might write a song that makes you laugh, now that would be funny 
F                                             G 
And you could tell your friends in England you'd like that 
C                                  Em 
But now I've chosen aeroplanes and boats to come between us 
      C                                                            F   G  
And a line or two on paper wouldn't go amiss   
C                      Em 
How is Worcestershire? Is it still the same between us? 
       C                       G 
Do you still use television to send you fast asleep? 
        F                          C                 Em 
Can you last another week? Does the cistern still leak? 
      C 
Or have you found a man to mend it? 
       Em             C               Em 
Oh, and by the way, how's your broken heart? 
     C                           F 
Is that mended too? I miss you 
Em      C                 G 
I miss you, I really do.  
                                            C 
I've been reading Browning, Keats and William Wordsworth 
F                                                       G 
And they all seem to be saying the same thing for me 
                                                C 
Well I like the words they use, and I like the way they use them 
F                                             G 
You know, Home Thoughts From Abroad is such a beautiful poem 
C                                        Em 
And I know how Robert Browning must have felt 
C                               F                  G 
'Cause I'm feeling the same way about you 
C                               Em 
Wondering what you're doing and if you need some help 
 C                                            Em 
Do I still occupy your mind? Am I being so unkind? 
F                   G                            C 
Do you find it very lonely, or have you found someone to laugh with? 
             Em       C              G 
Oh, and by the way, are you laughing now? 
C               Em 
'Cause I'm not, I miss you 
       C             G          C         F        G 
I miss you, I really do. 
G   C    G 
I really do.
