Verse:
G
Wondering why you left me
       C                 G
After all I've tried to do
G
You know I miss you baby
         D
And the children miss you too
G
Tonight we done the dishes
        C                G
Just to keep your memory clear

I cooled the hot dishwater

With my cold and bitter tears

Verse:
 G
The words which I've just spoke
       C                 G
Is the truth, I swear to God
 G
I'm sorry if I hurt you
                D
Sometimes I'm nervous, I work so hard
 G
I still love you, my darling
           C               G
But we're lost without you here
                      C
I cooled the hot dishwater
         G       C       G
With my cold and bitter tears

 C
It's wintertime already
 G
Christmas will be here soon
 D
It'll be a sad, sad occasion
 C                           G
If you're not in the dining room
 C
I hate to do the dishes
        G
And I know the reason why
 D                C
Putting on your apron
                  G
Makes me want to cry

 G
To keep our home together
 C                G
I done the best I could

Your true reason for leaving

Honey, I never understood

I still love you my darlin'
         C                G
But the children want you here
                    C
I cool the hot dishwater
        G    C      G
With my cold and bitter tears
