Intro: G C G C G
I called her [G]up to say I'm sorry, I just [C]can't have lunch to[G]day
Cause the [G]boss just [G/F#]called and he's [Em]flying [D]in from L.[C]A.
And as the [G]phone rang, I remembered the time
How [C]simple things used to [G]be
Then her [G]voice came on the [G/F#]line, not [Em]her, but the [D]answer mach[C]ine
Chorus
She said, "[C]I'm sorry, I can't take your [D]call, cause I'm [Em]packing up to [D]go [C]away
And [G]John, if that's [C]you're just [Am]cancellin' lunch any[D]way
Ah you [Em]used to find the [C]time, but [G]now you don't even [C]try
So at the [G]sound of the tone you're [C]on your [D]own...goodb[G]ye[D].[C]
I ran down to the street and I caught a cab, God I had to get back home
But the house was empty, except for the code-a-phone
And as the tears came, I remembered the time, how happy we used to be
And I'll never forget the last words she ever said to me
Chorus
She said you [Em]used to find the [C]time, but [G]now you don't even [C]try
So at the sound of the tone, you're on your own.......goodbye
