E B I got an invitation from a girl E E7 I used to know back home A C#m F# B It was an invitation asking me to telephone E E7 She said, it's getting lonely here A Am And I've been gone for close a year E B I took the first flight out to meet the girl E I used to know back home She met me off the flight, a million dollars in her long red gown With a man in a black hat just to drive us back to town Now the faces all look the same And all the places have the same old names E B But in a year you've changed just like the girl A I used to know back home E B Yes, in a year you've changed just like the girl E I used to know back home Chorus: A B E Maybe it's true that I go on and on and on A B C#m Maybe it's true that I'm the lonely one alone A B What can I say to you, what can I say to you? E B Yes, in a year you've changed just like the girl E I used to know back home It took another year before I started getting itchy toes And then I had to leave, but that's the way the story goes Well I reckon if she'd made me stay I'd never live to see another day I took the first flight out and left the girl I used to know back home Chorus: Maybe it's true that I go on and on and on Maybe it's true that I'm the lonely one alone What can I say to you, what can I say to you? I took the first flight out and left the girl I used to know back home E C#m B E Back home, I left the girl back home C#m B E I left the girl back home C#m B E I left the girl back home C#m B E I left the girl back home C#m B E I left the girl back home You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  Am  C#m  E  E7  F#  B  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
