You can see it in her letters on the paper with her pen

Tell me Mrs. Rita what's it say in my tarot

Read my palm and tell me why do lovers come and go

VERSE 2:
D Cadd9 Em7 G D
I've been keeping myself busy with my books and with my tapes
D Cadd9 Em7 G D
Every day's much better since I've slowed my drinking pace
D Cadd9 Em7 G D
There's no swimming in the bottle it's just someplace we all drown
D Cadd9 Em7 G D
I lost myself in sorrow lost my confidence in doubt
Em A Em A
Is she coming 'round for me once again, around or was that just the end
G A D
I just hope she's coming round again

D Cadd9 Em7 G D
My patience keeps me plaintive my high hopes keep me alone

My lover's will is shaken I wish she would just come home

Read my palm and tell me why do lovers come and go
