Lyrics

I spend the night in a chair think ing she’ll be there, but she nev er comes.

And then I wake up and wipe the sleep from my eyes, and I rise to face an oth er day with out her.

Do, do, do, do, do, do, (Dm7)do, do, do, do.

It’s just no (A7)good an y more when you walk thru the door of an emp ty room, and then you (Em7)go in side and set a (A7)ta ble for one.

It’s no (Dm7)fun when you spend a (G7)day with out her.

Do, do, do, do, do, do, (Dm7)do, do, do, do.

We burst the (G)pret ty bal loon, took us (D7)to the moon; such a (G)beau ti ful thing.

But it’s end ed now and it sounds like a lie if I (Dm7)said I’d rath er die than live with (C)out her.

Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do.

Love is a beau (A7)ti ful thing when it knows how to swing and it grooves like a clock, but the hands on the clock tell the (A7)lov ers to part, and it’s break ing my heart to have to (G7)spend an oth er day with out her.

Do, do, do, do, do, do, (Dm7)do, do, do, do.

I spend the night (A7)in a chair think ing (Dm7)she’ll be there, but she (G7)nev er comes.

And then I (Em7)wake up and wipe the sleep from my eyes, and I rise to face an oth er (G7)day with (Em7)out her.

Do, do, do, do, do, do, (Dm7)do.

Can’t go on with out her.

Do, do, do, do, do, do, (Dm7)do.

There’s no (G7)song with out her.

It’s all wrong with (Em7)out her.

Do, do, do, do, do, do, (Dm7)do.

Can’t go on with out her.

Do, do, do, do, do, do, (Dm7)do.

There’s no (G7)song with out her.

It’s all wrong with
