 Am                       G        F        Am 
 As  she  pours herself  an-other cup of  coffee
          Am                  G         F            Am
As  she  contemplates  the   stain   across   the   wall 
             Am              G          F       Am
And   it's in  between  the  cleaning  and the  washing. 
                 F               C       G       Am
It's when looking  back's   the hardest part of  all.

Verse 2   
Am                        G      F      Am
And  she always  did her best to try and please him. 
Am                       G        F        Am
While he always did his  best to make  her cry.   
Am                          G       F       Am
And  she got  down on her knees to stop him leaving.
F                        C          G     Am
But he always knew  one  day he'd  say  goodbye.

CHORUS
F                C                       G
Where are your friends where are your children?
F                 C                    G
Is  this  your   house is  this  your  home?
F              C               G
Does  nothing ever  last  for-ever
F          C                 G
Does  everybody.....sleep a-lone?

Verse 3
            Am            G         F        Am
And he tears the business tags from his old suitcase.
            Am        G      F      Am
As he packs away the pieces of his life.
          Am                G      F          Am
They all love him but they always  try to change him.
             F             C       G      Am
That's what happens when a girl becomes a wife.
            Am          G     F        Am
And she pours herself another cup of coffee.
            Am           G         F       Am
As the pictures leave a clean spot on the wall.
            Am           G        F      Am
And it's in between the leaving and the loving.
            F                   C        G     Am
That's when looking back's the hardest part of all.
