The Day You Went Away

By Roger Creager

G D C

A crowded restaurant and here you are

G D C

I'm doing fine but you have come so far

G D C

I ask how long it’s been like I don’t know

G D

I’ve been counting the days since you’ve been gone

C

You’d think my love would show

Chorus:

G D C

But I hear you’re doing great out on your own

G D C

You’re having a ball, have friends that call you on the telephone

G B7 Em C

You’ve got hopes, You’ve got dreams , you’ve really got it made

C G

I used to feel the same until the day you went away

G D C

I don’t know why I thought you’d be around

G D C

Looking back I see I really held you down

G D C

Thinking that I’d always have it all,

G D C

I hate the way you’re riding high then all at once you take the fall

Chorus

Em D C

Everyone is looking right at you

G D C

When you walk in you really steal the show

Em D C

You’re the one thing I should’ve held on to

Am G C D

But standing today I'm trying like hell to let you go

Solo

Chorus
