INTRO: D D/C# Bm G A D A7

I got a day without nothing to do
Do not disturb on my door
I sorta look for some mess that she made
Or her sweet little socks on the floor
But all that she left here is too many rooms
Just enough silence to break
And I can’t look at her picture right now
Time’s about all I can take[(A7)]

Last night I sort up her toys that were torn
And packed her suitcase again
She looked so sweet as she lay there asleep
Smilin’, holdin’ my hand
We didn’t talk all the way to the plane
But she’s too big now to cry
Then when I kissed her, she held me so tight
I couldn’t tell her goodbye

CHORUS:
She said I wish that we lived together again
We’ll get so lonesome apart
I’m missin’ somebody all of the time
Daddy, it’s breakin’ my heart

BREAK: G D Bm E A7

It’s not so bad out here, livin’ alone
Comfort’s a stranger away
And there’s a freedom you find on your own
It’s nearly worth what you’ve paid
It’s just a shame she still wants us to be
All that we seemed to before
But we can’t blame her for makin’ believe
Somethin’ we don’t anymore

CHORUS
