D       A        Bm      G                    D                                                
I get a bit sentimental, right around closing time,
                  A                     G                                                   
And I find myself on the phone, looking for a dime.
D        A         Bm              G                   D                                        
I know I shouldn't call her, but I don't really have a choice.
                   A                    G                                                   
I'll use up all my dignity to hear that pretty voice.
      A            Bm                      G                                                  
"Well how ya doin' darlin'?  You know it's been a long time
                         A              Bm                                                   
You've been on my mind.  Do you miss me baby?"

She said "Don't talk about yesterday,
A                    G                                                                      
don't tell me it was better back then.
                     D                                                                     
Don't talk about the good old days.
A              G                A                                                      
It'll never be that way again."

She don't like to remember back when life was fun.
                        A                 G                                                 
We'd go out dancin' and come home with therisin' sun.
D                          A             Bm                                                   
And now she's goin', she's goin' back to school.
      G               D                    A                                                 
She's got these crazy dreams, but this boy can't enjoy
       G                                                                                   
 being part of that scene.
A              Bm                     G                                                    
So I told her "Darlin', you know it's been a mistake
                     A              Bm                                                       
for us to separate.  How I miss you baby."

And now the band is playin' slow, I like to sing along.
                                                                                          
It's that old George Jones tune, it used to be our favorite song.
                                                                                          
Yeah I know...
