              G 
Jump aboard that silver plane 
  
C 
Wave at me through that window pane 
 
G               D7           G 
Left me with my arms full of empty 
 
                                      C 
Well I'm so sick and tired of getting up so sick and tired 
 
G                                D7 
Sick old dirty clothes and dirty dishes 
 
G                                            C 
I'm tired of all these sleepless nights that drive me up to walls 
 
G               D7           G 
Tired of having arms full of empty 
 
  
  
Oh you took my car and took my money 
  
C 
Done me wrong and that ain't funny 
 
G                               D7 
Left me standing here a looking silly 
 
G 
Jump aboard that silver plane 
  
C 
Wave to me through the window pane 
 
G               D7           G 
Left me with my arms full of empty 
 
  
                                  
Darling if you will come back 
  
  C 
I promise you that I won't be mad 
 
G                           D7 
For I never was one to hold grudges 
  
G                            C 
I ain't had no tender loving care since you've been gone 
 
G                 D7           G 
I've only had two arms full of empty
