Capo on 1st fret.
[d] well, you're just in time to be too late
I tried to but i couldn't wait
And [a] now i 've got another date
So i won't be home no [d] more
You're just in time to miss the boat
So don't take off your hat and coat
[a] be on your way, that's all she wrote
'cause i won't be home no [d] more.
1st bridge
I [g] stood around a month or two
And waited for your call
Now [d] i 'm too busy pitchin' woo
So come around next [a] fall
I [d] scratched your name right off my slate
And hung a sign on my front gate
You're [a] just in time to be too late
And i won't be home no [d] more.
Well, you're just in time to turn around
And drive your buggy back to town
You looked me up i turned you down
And i won't be home no more
You're just in time to change your tune
Go tell your troubles to the moon
And call around next may or june
'cause i won't be home no more.
2nd bridge
I used to be the patient kind
Believed each alibi
But that's all done, i 've changed my mind
I 've got new fish to fry
Well, you're just in time to celebrate
The things you didn't calculate
You're just in time to be too late
And i won't be home no more.
