Tim Easton           Half A Day written Tim Easton  
                                        C.Allen
D                 D/C#          Bm 
Why'd you have to come to town
A
When I'm gone
D                       D/C#
You could have picked a better day
Bm        A
Then when I'm away
D         D/C#
It's just my luck
Bm         A          D            D/C#  Bm  A
I'm gonna miss you by half a day
D              D/C#
Every time I'm making plans
Bm  A
To  Be with you
D                    D/C#
I'm waiting for that other man
Bm        A
To finish leaving you 
D         D/C#
What's my luck
Bm         A       D       D/C#    Bm    A
I'm gonna miss you again
G                                        D
This feels like the night my plane goes down
G                    Em                 D
Twenty minutes later your train gets to town
C                             G        D   D/C#  Bm  A
Why'd you have to come around when I'm away

SOLO

D                D/C#        Bm   A
I woke up on the coldest day I've ever known
D                    D/C#
I never strayed all summer long
Bm      A
But you weren't alone
D            D/C#
It's just my luck
Bm         A        D      D/C#  Bm   A
I'll never miss you again
G                                        D
This feels like the night my plane goes down
G                    Em                 D
Twenty minutes later your train gets to town
C                             G        
Why'd you have to come around when I'm away
C                                  G
You could have picked a better day then when I'm gone
C                             G         D  D/C#  Bm A   D

WHy'd you have to come around when I'm away
