G          
I don't want to spoil the party so I'll go
        G                         D
I would hate my disappointment to show
         Em            B       Am          D7
There's nothing for me here so I will disappear
       G                  F                  G
If she turns up while I'm gone please let me know


G
I've had a drink or two and I don't care
	   G				 D
There's no fun in what I do if she's not there
  Em		   B          Am             D7
I wonder what went wrong I've waited far too long
  G                 F                 G
I think I'll take a walk and look for her 


         G   
Though tonight she's made me sad
Em7  A7    C    D
I    still love her
     G
If I find her I'll be glad
Em7  A7    C    D
I    still love her 

G
I don't want to spoil the party so I'll go
        G                         D

There's nothing for me here so I will disappear
       G                  F                  G
