i got an invitation from a girl i used to know back home
A C#m F# B
it was an invitation asking me to telephone
E E7
she said , it’s getting lonely here
A Am
and i’ve been gone for close a year
E B E
i took the first flight out to meet the girl i used to know back home

C#m , B E
C#m

B E B E E7
she met me off the flight , a million dollars in her long red gown
A C#m F# B
with a man in a black hat just to drive us back to town
E E7
now the faces all look the same
A Am
and all the places have the same old names
E B A
but in a year you’ve changed just like the girl i used to know back home
E B E
yes , in a year you’ve changed just like the girl i used to know back home

A B E
maybe it’s true that i go on and on and on
A B C#m
maybe it’s true that i’m the lonely one alone
A B
what can i say to you , what can i say to you?
E B E
yes , in a year you’ve changed just like the girl i used to know back home

C#m , B E

it took another year before i started getting itchy toes
and then i had to leave , but that’s the way the story goes
well i reckon if she’d made me stay
i’d never live to see another day
i took the first flight out and left the girl i used to know back home

maybe it’s true that i go on and on and on
maybe it’s true that i’m the lonely one alone
what can i say to you , what can i say to you?
i took the first flight out and left the girl i used to know back home
E C#m B E
back home , i left the girl back home
C#m B E
i left the girl back home
C#m B E
i left the girl back home
C#m B E
i left the girl back home
C#m B E
i left the girl back home
