She wrote one time'n sent her love
F Em
Katie's been gone for such a long time now.

C
caught that bus,
F Gm Am
Well, I just don't know how things are with us.
A# C7
I'm still here and you're out there.
F Em
Katie laughed when I said I was lonely.
Dm G7
She said, There's no need t'feel that way.
F Em
Katie said that I was her only one,
Dm G7
But then I wonder why she didn't wanna stay.
F
Dear Katie,
C
if I'm the only one,
F C
How much longer will you be gone?
F Gm Am
Oh, Katie, won't ya tell me straight:
f#m G7
How much longer do I have to wait?

I'll believe you,

But please come through.

You should be here, near me.
F Em Dm G
Katie's been gone and now her face is slowly fading from my mind.

She's gone to find some newer places, Left the old life far behind.
F C
Dear Katie, dont ya miss your home?
F C
I dont see why you had to roam.
F Gm Am
Dear Katie, since you've been away

I lose a little something every day

I need you here, but you're still out there.

Dear Katie, please drop me a line,
