EBmF#mC#m
Wednesday morning at five o'clock as the day begins
F#mA
Silently closing her bedroom door
F#mA
Leaving the note that she hoped would say more
EBmF#mC#m
She goes downstairs to the kitchen clutching a handkerchief
F#mA
Quietly turning the backdoor key
F#mA
Stepping outside she is free
E
She we gave her most of our lives
E
Is leaving sacrificed most of our lives
EE7EC#m
Home We gave her everything money could buy
C#mF#mC#m
She is leaving home after living alone for so many years
EBmF#mC#m
Father snores as his wife gets into her dressing gown,
F#mA
Picks up the letter that's lying there.
F#mA
Standing alone at the top of the stairs,
EBmF#mC#m
She breaks down and cries to her husband Daddy our baby's gone.
F#mA
Why would she treat us so thoughtlessly?
F#mA
How could she do this to me?
E
She we never thought of ourselves
E
Is leaving never a thought for ourselves
EE7EC#m
Home we struggled hard all our lives to get by
C#mF#mC#m
She's leaving home after living alone for so many years
EBmF#mC#m
Friday morning at nine o'clock she is far away
F#mA
Waiting to keep the appointment she made
F#mA6A
Meeting a man from the motor trade
E
She what did we do that was wrong?
E
Is having - we didn't know it was wrong
EE7EC#m
Fun fun is the one thing that money can't buy
C#mF#mC#mF#m
Something inside that was always denied for so many years
C#mF#mAE
She's leaving home, bye bye
