Let's get married this Friday afternoon 
              G                D     C 
With only the judge and me and you 
             G        D      C   G   D   C   
In this tiny hospital room 


          G           D     C 
Just five years ago I was 
           G               D      C 
In service to the lord up above 
            G             D      C 
One look at her and I was done 
          G                  D       C   G   Em 
I don't regret the path I've come 


Chorus 1:  
     C           G    D    Em 
Just let me cast absentee 
       C          G         D    Em 
'Cause I won't be here next week___ 
     C               G           D    Em 
Yea, sure, I'm going to South Chicago___ 
C               G         D             C 
That for me, is easier to swallow, than this 


Chorus 2:  
          G 
I'm going now 
           D 
I'm saying bye 
       C 
No one knows 
     D       G 
What happens when 
                 D  
Love leaves your eyes

G               D      C 
Sunday came too soon 
      G                 D    C 
And I left you, what to do 
            G                   D     C 
Just put me down in the morning dew 
         G                 D      C  G  Em 
Just the ground and me and you 


Chorus 1:  
C           G    D    Em 
Let me cast absentee 
       C          G         D    Em 
'Cause I won't be here next week___ 
C               G           D    Em 
Sure, I'm going to South Chicago___ 
C               G         D             C 
That for me, is easier to swallow, than this 


Chorus 2:  
          G 
I'm going now 
           D 
I'm saying bye 
       C 
No one knows 
     D       G 
What happens when 
                 D  
Love leaves your eyes 


Chorus 3:  
          C 
I'm going now 
    D     G 
I'm gonna try 
            D 
To find you in 
        C 
Another life 
              G       D 
'Cause no one knows____
