E                     B
The postman delivered
                       A# 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                      G#m
And this morning at breakfast
A                    G#m
I spilled all the coffee
       E          B           C#m B
And I opened the door on my knee

Chorus:
        A
Oh the last thing I needed
     E                     C#m
The first thing this morning
        B                      E
Was to have you walk out on me

Last night you came home late,
and I knew you'd been drinking
By that old mellow look on your face
And I thought, "It don't matter,
'cause it's the holiday season"
And you fill such a big empty space
And I laid down beside you,
and I wanted your loving
'Cause your love makes my life complete

Chorus

      A           F#m  A
So excuse me for lookin'
         F#m           E F#m G#m
Like my world just ended
      A            F#m  A
And excuse me for lookin'
             F#m              E F#m G#m
Like I just lost my best friend
       A           F#m
And excuse me for livin'
              A
And being forgiving
           F#m                    E F#m G#m
So just go on if you want to be free

Chorus - x2
