    D                   G 
You say tomorrow you're going 
        D                A    
It's so hard for me to believe 
D                        G 
I'm making plans for the heartache 
      D             A        D 
Cause you're making plans to leave. 

    D                    G    
The tears for me will be falling 
       D                 A 
Like a tree shedding its leaves 
D                      G  
I'm making plans to be lonesome 
      D             A        D 
Cause you're making plans to leave 

              A 
You're making plans to forget me 
           D 
I'm making plans to miss you 
E7                   A 
I'm getting ready to grieve 
D                      G 
I'm making plans to be lonesome 
D                   A        D 
Cause you're making plans to leave
