Time3/4
[C]Postman delivered [G] a past due bill notice
[F] The alarm clock rang 2 hours [G]late
[C] The garbage man left all the [G]trash on the sidewalk
[F] & the hinges fell off of the [G]gate
[F] This mornin' at breakfast, I spilled all the coffee
I [C]opened the [G]door on my [Am]knee
The [F]last thing I needed [C] first thing this mornin'
Was to [G]have you walk [G7]out on [C]me
Verse 2:
Last night you came home late & I knew you'd been drinkin'
By that old mellow look on your face
But I thought, It don't matter 'cause it's the Holiday season
& you fill such a big empty space
& I lay down beside you & I wanted your lovin'
'Cause your love makes my life complete
The last thing I needed first thing this mornin'
Was to have you walk out on me
So ex[F]cuse me for lookin' like my world just en[C]ded
Ex[F]cuse me for lookin' like I just lost my best [C]friend
Ex[F]cuse me for livin' & be forgivin'
Just go on if you wanna be [C]free
But the [F]last thing I needed [C] first thing this mornin'
Was to [G]have you walk [G7]out on [C]me
