Correction Made by Larry Mofle

Key of G

Intro:  G C G C G

             G                           C                  G
I called her up to say I'm sorry, I just can't have lunch today
          G         G/F#            Em     D         C
Cause the boss just called and he's flying in from L.A.
           G 
And as the phone rang, I remembered the time
    C                     G
How simple things used to be
         G                 G/F#      Em           D          C
Then her voice came on the line, not her, but the answer machine


Chorus
           C                            D               Em            D  C
She said, "I'm sorry, I can't take your call, cause I'm packing up to go away
    G               C           Am                  D
And John, if that's you're just cancellin' lunch anyway
       Em               C         G                  C
Ah you used to find the time, but now you don't even try
          G                        C       D          G D  C
So at the sound of the tone you're on your own...goodbye.

I ran down to the street and I caught a cab, God I had to get back home
But the house was empty, except for the code-a-phone
And as the tears came, I remembered the time, how happy we used to be
And I'll never forget the last words she ever said to me

Chorus
             Em               C         G                  C
She said you used to find the time, but now you don't even try
So at the sound of the tone, you're on your own.......goodbye
