She loved me more than life its self 

                                                 G7 
But the liquid diet I was on starved our love to death 

   C                           F 
So it’s not hard to figure out why my baby’s gone 
  
                              C   G7             C     
Cause when I had a home to go to  I never did go home 


     G7                           C 
That house was quite a show place ten rooms two maids two cars 

   D7                         G7  
So now that I’ve got no place I sure walk them bars 

   C                                              F 
So pour another double while I tell you what went wrong 

                        C   G7             C 
When I had a home to go to  I never did go home 


            
But wait  I see her standing at the door 

                                                   G7 
And those big soft eyes are saying we can try once more 

   C                                 F 
So forget the double keep the change you can call me gone 

                                C   G7                  C 
Cause while I have a home to go to  this time I’m going home
