C
I don't want to spoil the party so I'll go
G
I would hate my disappointment to show
Am E Dm7 G7
There's nothing for me here so I will disappear
C Bb C
If she turns up while I'm gone please let me know
I've had a drink or two and I don't care
there's no fun in what I do if she's not there
I wonder what went wrong I've waited far too long
I think I'll take a walk and look for her
CHORUS:
C
Though tonight she's made me sad
Am7 D7 F G
I still love her
C
If I find her I'll be glad

There's nothing for me here so I will disappear
If she turns up while I'm gone please let me know ...SOLO, CHORUS
I've had a drink or two and I don't care
there's no fun in what I do if she's not there
I wonder what went wrong I've waited far too long
I think I'll take a walk and look for her
