He Oughta Know That By Now Lyrics

INTRO: G
I guess he's working late again
I don't need to wonder where he is, but I do
He oughta know that by now
I know his job takes a lot of him
There's not much left for him to give, but I need more
He oughta know that by now
CHORUS:
It's not like he's got to read my mind
To know what I'm feeling after all this time
It's just too hard to hold onto, what is never around
N.C. 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:
It's not like he's got to read my mind
To know what I'm feeling after all this time
It's just too hard to hold onto, what is never around
He oughta know that by now
INSTRUMENTAL: C G C D C D G
Heartache and coffee at the midnight motel
Leaving 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
