Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder

And the mind begins to wander back
to happier days.

I guess you'd say you were taken for granted
I went on and on and I raved and I ranted,oh--
My tyrannical ways.

Bridge 1

                 AmAm Piano Chord 

But now things are different,
EmEm Piano Chord 
                 AmAm Piano Chord 

Cause now you are gone,
EmEm Piano Chord 
         AmAm Piano Chord 

I'm not so sure
DD Piano Chord 

I can carry on.

Always knew you were important to me
But now I know you are a necessity, otherwise--
I start to go insane.

Things weren't easy when we were together,
We had plenty of days of lousy weather
I'm in a hurricane.

:Break:

Bridge 2
I'm gonna grieve,
I'm gonna moan.
Cause you're not here,
I'm all alone.

The joke's on me
You get the last laugh
I found out the hard way you was my better half, and now-
I'm the worse for the wear.

When I see you again expect some champagne wine,
On Valentine's Day expect a valentine
Cause now I know
How much I care.
