In  between  the  cleaning  and the  washing.....  it's when

got  down on her knees to stop him leaving.....but he


F                                   C          G              Am
 always knew  one  day he'd  say    goodbye...

2nd verse
and he tears the business tags from his old suitcase
as he packs away the pieces of his life
they all love him but they always  try to change him
thats what happens when a girl becomes a wife
and she pours herself another cup of coffee
as the pictures leave a clean spot on the wall
and it's in between the leaving and the loving
that's when looking backs the hardest part of all........

Good luck to all..
