The barroom crowd is thinning out it must be getting late
F#7
But if I’m free tomorrow night I’ll meet you here by eight
B E B
It’s hard to kiss two lips goodbye that’s sweeter than the wine
E B F#7 B
The hardest part of all is going home to do my time
E B
From the minute I walk through the door I know how it will be
E B F#7
I’ll sit across the room and wish she’d stop starring at me
B E B
We both tried but it’s no good our love’s dead on the vine
E B F#7 B
Yet I must pay for loving you by going home to do my time
E B
I’ve never found the happiness at home I find with you
F#7
And if she were all that’s holding me I’d make my dreams come true
B E B
But you know how much I love those little kids of mine
E B F#7 B
They’re all I’ve got to keep me going home to do my time
E B
From the minute I walk through the door I know how it will be
E B F#7
I’ll sit across the room and wish she’d stop starring at me
B E B
We both tried but it’s no good our love’s dead on the vine
E B F#7 B
Yet I must pay for loving you by going home to do my time
