GCG
The barroom crowd is thinning out it must be getting late
D7
But if I’m free tomorrow night I’ll meet you here by eight
GCG
It’s hard to kiss two lips goodbye that’s sweeter than the wine
CGD7G
The hardest part of all is going home to do my time
CG
From the minute I walk through the door I know how it will be
CGD7
I’ll sit across the room and wish she’d stop starring at me
GCG
We both tried but it’s no good our love’s dead on the vine
CGD7G
Yet I must pay for loving you by going home to do my time
CG
I’ve never found the happiness at home I find with you
D7
And if she were all that’s holding me I’d make my dreams come true
GCG
But you know how much I love those little kids of mine
CGD7G
They’re all I’ve got to keep me going home to do my time
CG
From the minute I walk through the door I know how it will be
CGD7
I’ll sit across the room and wish she’d stop starring at me
GCG
We both tried but it’s no good our love’s dead on the vine
CGD7G
Yet I must pay for loving you by going home to do my time
