Capo 6 (to match recording)


G
I guess he’s working late again
  G
I don’t need to wonder where he is
      C
But I do
          G
He oughta know that by now
  G
I know his job takes a lot of him
G     
There’s not much left for him to give
      C
But I need more
          G 
He oughta know that by now


Chorus:
C                        D
It’s not like he’s gotta read my mind
   G
To know what I’m feeling after all this time
          C                     D              C      D
It’s just too hard to hold onto what is never around
          G
He oughta know that by now


He used to promise soon things would change
It’s been years and it’s still the same
And that hurts
He oughta know that by now
I’ve grown so used to being alone
Couldn’t be much worse if I were gone 
And in a way I am
He oughta know that by now


Chorus

Guitar/mandolin break


Heartache and coffee at midnight motel
Leavin’ him was hard as hell 
But I did
He oughta know that by now
I didn’t try to explain
No good-bye underneath my ring
That was all I left
He oughta know that by now


That was all I left
And he oughta know that by now
