G            Bm                 C                     G 
   You don`t write, tonight I`m waiting for your call 
               Bm             C                  G 
You say you`re busy baby, but is that really all 
                    Bm                C 
Maybe it`s just the loneliness that`s driving me insane 
                    G         Bm        C     C  Bm Am 
But when we used to play, was it just a game  /  /   
               D        G           
       If it`s so, that we were meant to be, 
     Am             D            G/  
       then why, oh why, did you go away

      (You don`t write,      No you don`t write       ) Don't play last chorus 
G            Bm           C                 G 
   You don`t write, don`t give me no excuse 
             Bm       C              G 
I`m sick and tired of all your abuse 
                 Bm                  C 
So don`t say you love me when you`re miles and miles away 
                      G         Bm              C     C  Bm Am 
`Cause when the cat`s away, the mice pretend to play  /  /

You don`t write   to me anymore, you hardly call me on the phone,  
         Bm                      C 
I`m all alone, won`t you come on home  
             G      Bm C              G       Bm  C 
No you don`t write,     No, you don`t write.
