G                                   D7
These lyin' lips, said they'd for - get,
                              G
Those same lovin' arms that I miss,
                                D7
This foolish heart, that let me part,
                                       G
From those sweet tender lips I long to kiss.

[Chorus]
  G7       C
I hear the ticking of the clock,
      G
as it begged me then to stop,
     A7                            D7
Each picture on the wall seemed to cry,
         G               G7    C
And that old rusty gate, I can hear it beg me wait,
          D7                                 G
While the curtain in the window waves good - bye.

[Verse]
G                      D7
In memory, I still can see,
                           G
Two arms that once held me tight,
                       D7
Oh how I miss a tender kiss,
                                            G
From those lovin' lips that I kissed good - bye.

[Chorus]
  G7       C
I hear the ticking of the clock,
      G
as it begged me then to stop,
     A7                            D7
Each picture on the wall seemed to cry,
         G               G7    C
And that old rusty gate, I can hear it beg me wait,
          D7                                 G
While the curtain in the window waves good - bye.

[Outro]
               D7                                  G
Tag: While the curtain in the window, waves good - bye.
