D G
I watched the taxi take her away
A7 D
Through the window she was waving goodbye
G
There wasn't much left to say
Em A7 G
Her last I love you was a lie

A7 D G
Did she leave me for somebody else
A7 D G
And just leave me behind
A7 D
All she left me was by myself
Em A7
And if that plane arrives on time

Charlotte's in North Carolina

Back where she wanted to be

Charlotte's in North Carolina
Em A7 Bm
She left me here in Saint Louis in misery

I was kinda hoping she'd call
A7 D
Let me know she made it okay
G
Now that phone's driving me up the wall
Em A7 G
It hasn't rung all day
β« Verse 4:

I hope she finds what she's looking for
A7 D G
That's all that matters to me

Cause all it cost me was my heart

To set my sweet Charlotte free
