(C9 D9 A9) 
I'm sorry baby, but I can't afford to stay. 
Your good, kind treatment will worry me someday. 
I love you baby, but I'm gonna have to say goodbye. 
Woman, I got to move, I really got to fly. 

G              Abº 
Same thing every morning, 
Am                    D 
Tell me what's it all about. 
(C9  D9  A9) 
I get those same old blues every night. 


(C9 D9 A9) 
I miss you already, baby, more than words can say. 
Seems like I've been gone twenty-four hours, more like a million days. 
I love you baby, you know I woudn't tell you no lies. 
If you don't believe I love you, look at the tears standing in my eyes. 

Refrão: 

(C9 D9 A9) 
Here I am back home, baby, I'm back home to stay. 
I love you babe, never more will I go away. 
I won't hurt you no more, baby, ain't gonna tell you no more lies. 
No more running 'round, no more phony alibis.
