          C            G           D      C
Let's get married this Friday afternoon
              G                D     C
With only the judge and me and you
             G        D      C   G   D   C
In this tiny hospital room


          G           D     C
Just five years ago I was
           G               D      C
In service to the lord up above
            G             D      C
One look at her and I was done
          G                  D       C   G   Em
I don't regret the path I've come

CHORUS 1:
     C           G    D    Em
Just let me cast absentee
       C          G         D    Em
'Cause I won't be here next week___
     C               G           D    Em
Yea, sure, I'm going to South Chicago___
C               G         D             C
That for me, is easier to swallow, than this


CHORUS 2:
          G
I'm going now
           D
I'm saying bye
       C
No one knows
     D       G
What happens when
                 D
Love leaves your eyes


INSTRUMENTAL:  C   G   D   C   (3x)


G               D      C
Sunday came too soon
      G                 D    C
And I left you, what to do
            G                   D     C
Just put me down in the morning dew
         G                 D      C  G  Em
Just the ground and me and you


CHORUS 1:
C           G    D    Em

       C          G         D    Em
'Cause I won't be here next week___
C               G           D    Em
Sure, I'm going to South Chicago___
C               G         D             C
That for me, is easier to swallow, than this


CHORUS 2:
          G
I'm going now
           D
I'm saying bye
       C
No one knows
     D       G
What happens when
                 D
Love leaves your eyes


CHORUS 3:
          C
I'm going now
    D     G
I'm gonna try
            D
To find you in
        C
Another life
              G       D
'Cause no one knows____
