How Can I Miss You When You Won't Go Away
Dan Hicks

     G                              C
I've talked to your mother and I've talked to your dad
     G                                 C     
They say they've tried but it's all in vain
     G                          C        A
I've begged and I've pleaded, I even got mad
D                        G
Now we must face it, you give me a pain

F                           C
How can I miss you when you won't go away?
F                  C 
I keep telling you day after day
F                         C               A
But you won't listen, you always stay and stay
D                           G        C   
How can I miss you when you won't go away?

     G                            C
Your never ending presence really cramps my style
  G                                 C
I dream that it won't always be the same
   G                         C      A
At first I was attracted but after awhile
D                          G
Have you ever heard of the hard-to-get game?

F                           C
How can I miss you when you won't go away?
F                  C 
I keep telling you day after day
F                         C               A
But you won't listen, you always stay and stay
D                           G        C   
How can I miss you when you won't go away? (And I mean it, too!)

       G                         C
Out of three billion people, why must it be me?
    G                             C
Oh, why, oh, why won't you cut me loose?
     G                 C            A 
Just do me a favor and listen to my plea
D                G       
I'm not the only chicken on the roost

F                           C
How can I miss you when you won't go away?
F                  C 
I keep telling you day after day
F                         C               A
But you won't listen, you always stay and stay
D                           G        C   
How can I miss you when you won't go away?
