Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder

Loudon Wainwright III

G

Absence makes the heart grow fonder

C D

And the mind begins to wander back

to happier days.

I guess you'd say you were taken for granted

I went on and on and I raved and I ranted,oh--

My tyrannical ways.

Bridge 1

Em Am

But now things are different,

Em Am

Cause now you are gone,

Em Am

I'm not so sure

D

I can carry on.

Always knew you were important to me

But now I know you are a necessity, otherwise--

I start to go insane.

Things weren't easy when we were together,

We had plenty of days of lousy weather

I'm in a hurricane.

Bridge 2

I'm gonna grieve,

I'm gonna moan.

Cause you're not here,

I'm all alone.

The joke's on me

You get the last laugh

I found out the hard way you was my better half, and now-

I'm the worse for the wear.

When I see you again expect some champagne wine,

On Valentine's Day expect a valentine

Cause now I know

How much I care.

C D C G

How much I care.
