I called her up to say I'm sorry, I just can't have lunch today
G G/F# Em D C
Cause the boss just called and he's flying in from L.A.

And as the phone rang, I remembered the time
C G
How simple things used to be
G G/F# Em D C
Then her voice came on the line, not her, but the answer machine
Chorus
C D Em D C
She said, "I'm sorry, I can't take your call, cause I'm packing up to go away
G C Am D
And John, if that's you're just cancellin' lunch anyway
Em C G C
Ah you used to find the time, but now you don't even try
G C D G D C
So at the sound of the tone you're on your own...goodbye.
I ran down to the street and I caught a cab, God I had to get back home
But the house was empty, except for the code-a-phone
And as the tears came, I remembered the time, how happy we used to be
And I'll never forget the last words she ever said to me
Chorus
Em C G C
She said you used to find the time, but now you don't even try
So at the sound of the tone, you're on your own.......goodbye
