G Am
I can't believe that you’re honestly thinking of leaving me
D7 G D7
Cause I thought that leavin' really wasn't even on your mind
G Am
I'm drowning in tears drawing constantly nearer to misery
D7 G
Just bidin' my time while the glow from the wine makes a fool of me
D7 G C Dm
Over and over I practice every day what to say when I see you
A7 D7
And when I see you my tears get in the way
G Am
I spend my nights makin' up things I might have to say to you
D7 G D7
To stop you from goin' yet keep you from knowin' how I feel
G Am
But till the light says goodbye to the night and your face I see
D7 G
I'll just be bidin' my time till the glow from the wine makes a fool of me
D7 G C Dm
Over and over I practice every day what to say when I see you
A7 D7
And when I see you my tears get in the way
G Am
I spend my nights makin' up things I might have to say to you
D7 G D7
To stop you from goin' yet keep you from knowin' how I feel
G Am
But till the light says goodbye to the night and your face I see
D7 G
I'll just be bidin' my time till the glow from the wine makes a fool of me
D7 C G
Bidin' my time till the glow from the wine makes a fool of me
