            C  D A                       C D A
I'm sorry, baby, but I can't afford to stay
Your good, kind treatment will worry me someday
I love you, baby, but I'm going to have to say goodbye
When I got to move, I really got to fly

Chorus:
 G                E7/G#   A                 D
Same thing every morning, tell me what's it all about
             C         G                        C D A
I get those same old blues every night, every night

I miss you already, baby, more than words can say
Seems like I've been gone 24 hours, more like a million days
I love you, baby, you know I would never tell you no lies
If you do not believe I love you,
look at the tears standing in my eyes

Chorus

Here I am back home, baby, I'm back home to stay
I love you, babe, nevermore will I go away
I won't hurt you no more, baby, ain't gonna tell you no more lies
No more running around, no more phony alibi

Chorus - x3
