The Day You Went Away
By Roger Creager


G                        D        C
A crowded restaurant and here you are
G                  D        C
I'm doing fine but you have come so far
  G                 D                 C
I ask how long it’s been like I don’t know
          G                       D 
I’ve been counting the days since you’ve been gone
      C 
You’d think my love would show


Chorus:
      G                 D                 C
But I hear you’re doing great out on your own
       G                   D                            C
You’re having a ball, have friends that call you on the telephone
G               B7                   Em                     C
You’ve got hopes, You’ve got dreams , you’ve really got it made
  C                                            G
I used to feel the same until the day you went away


G                  D                 C
I don’t know why I thought you’d be around
G              D            C
Looking back I see I really held you down
G                 D              C
Thinking that I’d always have it all, 
  G                   D                       C
I hate the way you’re riding high then all at once you take the fall

Chorus

Em          D                C
Everyone is looking right at you
G                 D                    C     
When you walk in you really steal the show
Em                  D                    C
You’re the one thing I should’ve held on to
    Am         G                   C               D
But standing today I'm trying like hell to let you go

Solo

Chorus
