 (Bb) Oh, the key's in the mailbox, come on (Eb)in

 I'm (F) sitting here wishing dear, I had your love a-(Bb) 

 I'll never even ask you where you've (Eb) been.

 Oh, the (F) key's in the mailbox, come on (Bb) in.
 
 Verse 1
 
 (Bb) Oh, jealous me and careless you the (F) odds were just too 

great.
 And I couldn't take those lonely nights, you made me sit and (Bb) 

wait.
 I thought I'd seen the last of you when (F) you walked out of 

sight,
 Instead I see you in my dreams at (Bb) night.

 Verse 2
 
 Well, I said I'd rather live alone than share your company,
 And I said, "don't come around at all," if you want more than me.
 But sitting here alone I can't deny this flame that burns,
 I'd gladly take you back on any terms.
 
 Repeat Chorus
