She said her mind was made up,
Em
As she put on her makeup,
AmD
Said there was nothin' here for her.
G

And she walked right out that front gate
AmD
With her taxi waitin' at the curb.

All alone and waitin' on me.
AmD

Em

AmD

D
Its nice to know your dreams came true
AmCD
And the wedding band on her hand told me that hers had too
