You Never Miss A Real Good Thing (Till He Says Goodbye) 
~ Crystal Gayle (1976) 
Written by Bob McDill 

G                             C          
Sittin’ on the bed a-thinkin’ thinkin’ that my heart is sinkin’          
G                          D7            
Everyday the world goes by with you gone                 
G                           C            
All I do is dream about you livin’ ain’t a life without you              
G                              D7           G    
Honey can’t you find it in you to come back home         

Chorus: 
                         
C                                G               
You never miss a real good thing or know what it means           
D7                             G                 
You never see the light of day till it goes away                 
C                               G                
You never want a drink of water till the well runs dry           
D7                         C     D7               G 
You never miss a real good thing till he says goodbye 
                         
G                                    C           
I guess you must’ve had your reasons maybe you were right in leavin’             
G                               D7               
I know you never found yourself in what we had           
G                                    C           
And honey you’ve a right to blame me maybe even time would change me             
G                                       D7               G       
But can’t you see the good that’s in me and overlook the bad     

Repeat Chorus
