VERSE 1

C                  F      C
You been out there layin' low
                   G       C
In every dive from here to Memphis
                         F        C
Lookin' for something to fill the hole

In your poor little heart
    G                 F
And keep out the cold
                                  C
Why does love have to hurt so bad
                   Am
To drive a man downtown every night
          G
I tell ya something ain't right

Something's real wrong

In the morning when I wake up

You'll still be gone

CHORUS;
C       G           C       G      C
Come on back to the one who really loves you
G    C       G       
Baby come on back to me
C       G           C       G      C
Come on back to the one who really cares
G    C       G          C
Baby come on back to me

VERSE 2
C                          F           C
Out chasing shadows on the dark side of town
                    G         C
You can't hold what you can't catch
                            F       C
It's a bitter business this running around
                            G      C      F
When the penny drops it's a lonely sound

Women are fools when it comes to you
C                            Am
They gotcha doin' things you can't undo
       G
Like a chain of heartaches around your neck

Give 'em enough rope and they'll hang you yet

CHORUS;SOLO;    F C Am G ;  CHORUS REPEATED
F
Why does love have to hurt so bad
C                  Am
To drive a man downtown every night
          G
I tell ya something ain't right

Something's real wrong

In the morning when I wake up

You'll still be gone
