[Verse 1]

[Am]I get that itch for l[C]eaving
[G]There sure is a lot to s[Am]ee
[Am]When I hear those [C]big jets winding
[G]It makes me wanna [Am]leave
[Am]I've never been t[C]o Paris
[G]Still never been to [Am]Maine
[Am]I sure like Cali[C]fornia
[G]I could leave on the next [Am]plane
[Am]When I hear your v[C]oice a-call me
[G]Begging me to s[Am]tay
[Am]I'm torn and I'm t[C]attered
T[G]he sky is turned to [Am]gray
[Am]My mind is numb and [C]I haven't slept
[G]And my heart it aches [Am]for you
[Am]If I stay here, [C]my darling
[G]I don't know if I'll make it [Am]through

[Verse 2]

[Am]On the 18th day of [C]December
[G]That's when I did [Am]go
[Am]I packed my bags a[C]nd I headed south
[G]I walked right out [Am]the door
[Am]All alone in tha[C]t dwelling place
[G]As cold as cold could[Am] be
[Am]Not a soul [C]inside that evening
[G]Just this feeling of [Am]relief

[Verse 3]

[Am]She's as fine as the [C]evening sun
[G]That, I would not [Am]lie
[Am]But I would not g[C]ive my life to her
[G]No matter how h[Am]ard I tried
[Am]I may never [C]find another
[G]I've come to [Am]realize
[Am]But you can't hold back [C]a roaming man
[G]Darling, I a[Am]pologize
[Am]I broke her heart so[C] suddenly
[G]Like a thief in t[Am]he night
[Am]But as sure as the [C]morning comes
[G]I know what I did was [Am]right
[Am]I did not mean to [C]lead you on
[G]For that you won't f[Am]orget
[Am]This heart of mine i[C]s breaking
[G]And I'm filled with [Am]regret

[Verse 4]

[Am]It breaks my heart to k[C]now, dear
[G]I couldn't ever say g[Am]oodbye
[Am]But I know, my [C]darling
[G]You'd be unhappy as my [Am]bride
[Am]You'll surely find [C]another man
[G]Who will take you [Am]as his wife
[Am]And I'll be [C]alone, my dear
[G]Living the bachelor's [Am]life
