Shes Leaving Me

Lyle Lovett

 FBb
 Thank you my friend
 F
I sincerely appreciate the words you say

About how she'll cry

And how she'll grieve and miss me
 Bb
When she goes away
 FBb
 Say them again

I need to hear the words once more
 F
 I can't believe

How she'll miss me when she's gone

And how she'll want to come back home
 Bb
And never leave
 EbBb
But she's leaving me
 Eb
Because she really wants to
 FBb
And she'll be happy when she's gone
 BbEb
 She'll be happy, she'll be so very happy

She'll dance and sing or even
 FBb
 Learn to fly and spend her time with anyone but me

SOLO

 FBb
 What's that you say
 F
That I'll get over her the more that time goes by

But time goes so slow

When all I have to do
 Bb
Is sit around and cry
 FBb
 No she won't be back
 F
I'd be a fool to try and fool myself that way

I know she hasn't one regret

Because she hasn't had one since
 Bb
the day she came to stay
 EbBb
But she's leaving me
 Eb
Because she really wants to
 FBb
And she'll be happy when she's gone
 BbEb
 She'll be happy, she'll be so very happy

She'll dance and sing and maybe
 FBb
 Learn to fly and spend her time with anyone but me
 BbEb
 And she'll be happy when she's gone
 FBb
 She'll be happy...when she's gone
 BbEb
 And she'll be happy...when she's gone
 FBb
 She'll be happy...when she's gone
