^EWednesday ^Bmmorning at ^F#mfive o'clock as the ^C#mday begins ^F#mSilently closing her ^A6bedroom door ^F#mLeaving the note that she ^A6hoped would say more

^EShe - we gave her most of our lives Is leaving - sacrificed most of our lives ^EHome - We gave her ^E7everything ^Emoney could ^C#mbuy ^C#mShe is leaving home after ^F#mliving alone for so ^C#mmany years

^EFather ^Bmsnores as his ^F#mwife gets into her ^C#mdressing gown, ^F#mPicks up the letter that's ^A6lying there. ^F#mStanding alone at the ^A6top of the stairs,

She breaks ^Edown and ^Bmcries to her ^F#mhusband Daddy our b^C#maby's gone. ^F#mWhy would she treat us so ^A6thoughtlessly? ^F#mHow could she do this to ^Ame?
