1. You packed in the morning, I           stared out the window,
.                 .- Em                                            C
and I         struggled for something to say,
G
you left in the rain without closing the door,
Am                                  D
I didn’t stand in your way.

G                                                     – G7
Now I miss you more than I           missed you before,
.                    – Em                                        C
and,        where I’ll  find comfort, God knows.

G                             – G7
2. Now most every morning I          stare out the window,
.                   – Em                                               C
and I          think about where you might be,
G
I’ve written you letters that I’d like to send,
Am                                            D
if you would just send one to me.

G                                                       – G7
Yes, I need you more than I           needed before,
.                     – Em                                        C
and I,        where I’ll  find comfort, God knows.
