The postman delivered
Bb A
A "past due" bill notice
E B
The alarm clock rang two hours late
E B
The garbage man left all the trash
A
On the sidewalk
E B
And the hinges fell off of the gate
A Abm
And this morning at breakfast
A Abm
I spilled all the coffee
E B Dbm B
And I opened the door on my knee
A
Oh the last thing I needed
E Dbm
The first thing this morning
B E
Was to have you walk out on me
E B
Last night you came home late
Bb
And I knew you'd been drinking
A E B
By that old mellow look on your face
E B
I thought, "It don't matter
B Bb A
'Cause it's the holiday season"
E B
And you fill such a big empty space
A Abm
And I laid down beside you
A Abm
And I wanted your lovin'
E B Dbm B
Because your love makes my life complete
A
But the last thing I needed
E Dbm
The first thing this morning
B E
Was to have you walk out on me
A Gbm A
So excuse me for lookin'
Gbm E Gbm Abm
Like my world just ended
A Gbm A
And excuse me for lookin'
Gbm E Gbm Abm
Like I just lost my best friend
A Gbm
And excuse me for livin'
A
And being forgiving
Gbm E Gbm Abm
So just go on if you want to be free
A
But the last thing I needed
E Dbm
The first thing this morning
B E
Was to have you walk out on me
A
But the last thing I needed
E Dbm
The first thing this morning
B E
Was to have you walk out on me
