G
Wondering why you left me
C G
After all I've tried to do
G
You know I miss you baby
D
And the children miss you too

Tonight we done the dishes
C G
Just to keep your memory clear
G C
I cooled the hot dishwater
G C G
With my cold and bitter tears

The words which I've just spoke

Is the truth, I swear to God

I'm sorry if I hurt you

Sometimes I'm nervous, I work so hard

I still love you, my darling

G C G
With my cold and bitter tears

It's wintertime already

Christmas will be here soon

If you're not in the dining room

I hate to do the dishes
G
And I know the reason why
D C
Putting on your apron

Makes me want to cry
[Verse]
G
To keep our home together
C G
I done the best I could

Your true reason for leaving

Honey, I never understood

I still love you my darlin'

But the children want you here

I cool the hot dishwater
G C G
With my cold and bitter tears
[Outro]
G C
I cool the hot dishwater
G C G
With my cold and bitter tears
