Now he's on his cell phone in a Coupe Deville

Talkin' to the one he loves and always will
(Em)                          (A)            
His heart is breakin' 'cause she's there alone
(C)                                        (D)   
Her heart is achin' 'cause she wants him home

Sweetheart, I'll wait for you

(G)                           (Am)
He didn't stop all day to eat a bite
(D)                               (G)
And he finally got there around midnight
(Em)                          (A)            
The doctor said, she's in a better place
