E                       B
  The postman delivered
                         Bb  A
A "past due" bill notice
                E                   B
The alarm clock rang two hours late
E                                  B
  The garbage man left all the trash
                A
On the sidewalk
                 E                  B
And the hinges fell off of the gate

A                       G#m
  And this morning at breakfast
A                     G#m
  I spilled all the coffee
       E          B            C#m  B
And I opened the door on my knee
       A
Oh the last thing I needed
    E                        C#m
The first thing this morning
       B                       E
Was to have you walk out on me

E                               B
  Last night you came home late
                               Bb
And I knew you'd been drinking
        A          E               B
By that old mellow look on your face
E                             B
  I thought, "It don't matter
                               B  Bb  A
'Cause it's the holiday season"
                    E               B
And you fill such a big empty space

      A           G#m
And I laid down beside you
      A           G#m
And I wanted your lovin'
        E               B                C#m  B
Because your love makes my life complete
        A
But the last thing I needed
    E                C#m
The first thing this morning
       B                       E
Was to have you walk out on me

      A           F#m   A
So excuse me for lookin'
        F#m              E  F#m  G#m
Like my world just ended
     A            F#m    A
And excuse me for lookin'
             F#m                E  F#m  G#m
Like I just lost my best friend
     A            F#m
And excuse me for livin'
          A
And being forgiving
            F#m                      E  F#m  G#m
So just go on if you want to be free

       A
But the last thing I needed
    E                C#m
The first thing this morning
       B                       E
Was to have you walk out on me

       A
But the last thing I needed
    E                C#m
The first thing this morning
       B                       E
Was to have you walk out on me
