Shes Leaving Me Because She Really Wants To chords by Lyle Lovett

Chords with lyrics

Capo I

E MajorE      A augmentedA
Thank you my friend,
              E MajorE
I sincerely appreciate the words you say,

About how she'll cry,
                      A augmentedA
And how she'll grieve and miss me when she goes away,
E MajorE    A augmentedA
Say them again,

I need to hear the words once more,
E MajorE
I can't believe,

How she'll miss me when she's gone,
                     A augmentedA
And how she'll want to come back home and never leave.

     D MajorD    A augmentedA
But she's leaving me
          D MajorD
Because she really wants to,
  E MajorE             A augmentedA
And she'll be happy when she's gone,
A augmentedA               D MajorD
She'll be happy, she'll be so very happy,
                E MajorE                  A augmentedA
She'll dance and sing and even learn to fly and spend her time with anyone but me.

E MajorE        A augmentedA
What's that you say?
                   E MajorE
That I'll get over her the more that time goes by,

But time goes so slow,
                A augmentedA
When all I have to do is sit around and cry.
  E MajorE      A augmentedA
No, she won't be back,
                E MajorE
I'd be a fool to try and fool myself that way.

I know she hasn't one regret,
                       A augmentedA
Because she hasn't had one since the day she came to stay.


     D MajorD    A augmentedA
But she's leaving me
          D MajorD
Because she really wants to,
  E MajorE             A augmentedA
And she'll be happy when she's gone,
A augmentedA               D MajorD
She'll be happy, she'll be so very happy,
                E MajorE                  A augmentedA
She'll dance and sing and even learn to fly and spend her time with anyone but me.

A augmentedA             D MajorD
She'll be happy when she's gone
E MajorE             A augmentedA
She'll be happy when she's gone
A augmentedA             D MajorD
She'll be happy when she's gone
E MajorE             A augmentedA
