[Dm] [F] [Dm]
[A] [Dm]
[A] [Dm] As her car pulls out the driveway, [Gm] and she don't wave [Bb] goodbye
Her [D] [A] last words [Dm] echo [Gm] in my mind
[Bb] [A] Listen honey, I [Dm] gotta get away
[C] I'm [Dm] standing here watching her tail lights
[Gm] As if [C] there's some [Bb] kind of sign
Fading [D] [A] into [Dm] a [Gm] memory
[Bb] That just got [Dm] tired of trying
[A] [Dm] So [F] long, [Gm] I hate to see [Dm] you go
[Bb] So I save my [Gm] tears for later on [Dm] down the road
[C] [Dm] [F] I'll come, [Gm] I keep on [Dm] holding on
[Bb] Knowing [A] you won't be [Dm] coming home
[Am] You [Dm] won't be coming home
Two days later, I get a letter
