The Hollies


Tom: Dm

INTRO: F  G  (6x)

 Dm7                   G
Another day gone and I think of you
Dm7                               G               C   Am   C
Wonder where you're going, wonder what you do without me


  Dm7                   G
A telephone call from a friend I know
Dm7                             G            C  Am   C
Left me feeling bitter, left me feeling so unhappy


PD-C HORUS:
          F                                        Fm
'Cause if you couldn't wait for twenty four hours
                                      C
What good would telegrams and flowers do? 
      A7   A
Oooh, ooh, ooh


CHORUS:
      Dm7                          G
If it wasn't for the reason that I love you baby
  Dm7                   G               C  
I wouldn't have another thing to say to you


Dm7                      G
Might as well stay for a day or two
Dm7                            G               C        Am    C
Find another friend and have a drink or two to pass the time


Dm7                        G
Talking over troubles in a whiskey daze
  Dm7                           G               C      Am     C
A little drop of cognac helps a man to face the lonely times


PD-C HORUS:
            F                                        Fm
'Cause it's sad being home and I've given up trying
                               C
I've got no lying that I wanna do
      A7   A
Oooh, ooh, ooh


CHORUS:
      Dm7                          G
If it wasn't for the reason that I love you baby
  Dm7                   G               C  
I wouldn't have another thing to say to you


INSTRUMENTAL: Dm7  G  Dm7  G  C  (2x)   G


BRIDGE:

Wish I could find a way

Work up the nerve to say
     C   
"You cheated and you lied
                                 F
You took away the little pride I had inside"
      D7   D
Oooh, ooh, ooh


CHORUS:
      Dm7                          G
If it wasn't for the reason that I love you baby
  Dm7                   G               C    Am  C
I wouldn't have another thing to say to you


 Dm7                   G
Another day gone and I think of you
Dm7                               G               C   Am   C
Wonder where you're going, wonder what you do without me


  Dm7                   G
A telephone call from a friend I know
Dm7                             G            C  Am   C
Left me feeling bitter, left me feeling so unhappy

Might as well stay for a day or two
Dm7                            G               C        Am    C
Find another friend and have a drink or two to pass the time


Dm7                        G
Talking over troubles in a whiskey daze
  Dm7                           G               C      Am     C
