Verse 1:

    C 
I listen for your footsteps coming up the drive

F
Listen for your footsteps but they don't arrive

G7
Waiting for your knock dear on my own front door

         F                                          C
I don't hear it   Does it mean you don't love me anymore?


Verse 2:

   C                 
I hear the clock a-ticking   on the mantel shelf
      
F                    
See the hands a-moving     but I'm by myself    

    G7
I wonder where you are tonight  why I'm by myself

         F                                           C
I don't see you    Does it mean you don't love me anymore?


CHORUS

C
Don't pass me by don't make me cry don't make me blue

                  F

You never know it hurt me so   I'd hate to see you go

              G(7)                    F                C

Verse 3:

C
Sorry that I doubted you I was so unfair

F
You were in a car crash and you lost your hair
       
       G7 
(You) said that you wouldn't be late about an hour or two

       F                                                          C
