G Em
I stayed away so long Jo
G Em
Don't think that I could come back
G Em
You're doin' so well without me girl
G D G
You'd laugh if you'd know'd where I'm at
G Em
You knew me when it was all my world
G Em
Somehow it's all passed me by
G Em
But don't let on to my friends Jo dear
G D G
That things ain't turned out as planned
C G
You bore my child then I left you aside
G Em
I don't expect you to forgive
G Em
But Jo I can say in a funny old way
G D G
I was sure that I had it made
G Em
I still possess a photograph
G Em
My memory to refresh
G Em
But fade it may Jo I can say
G D G
I was sure that I had it made
C G
You bore my child then I left you aside
G Em
I don't expect you to forgive
G C6
But now I'm not so young and I'm so afraid
G D G
To sleep alone for the rest of my days
