Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder
Loudon Wainwright III
G
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
C D
And the mind begins to wander back
to happier days.
I guess you’d say you were taken for granted
I went on and on and I raved and I ranted,oh—
My tyrannical ways.
Bridge 1
Em Am
But now things are different,
Em Am
Cause now you are gone,
Em Am
I’m not so sure
D
I can carry on.
Always knew you were important to me
But now I know you are a necessity, otherwise—
I start to go insane.
Things weren’t easy when we were together,
We had plenty of days of lousy weather
I’m in a hurricane.
Bridge 2
I’m gonna grieve,
I’m gonna moan.
Cause you’re not here,
I’m all alone.
The joke’s on me
You get the last laugh
I found out the hard way you was my better half, and now-
I’m the worse for the wear.
When I see you again expect some champagne wine,
On Valentine’s Day expect a valentine
Cause now I know
How much I care.
C D C G
How much I care.
