(Intro.)
|(C) / / / |(F) / / / |(G) / / / |(G) / / / |

(Verse)
(C) Well baby, there you (F)stand
(G) With your little head, down in your (F)hand
(F)Oh, my God, you (Em)can't believe it's (Dm)happening again (Em)
Your (F)baby's gone, and you're (Em)all alone
And it (Dm)looks like the end (G) 
(C) And you're back out on the street (F)
(Bb)(Am)(G) And you're tryin' to re-(G)member.
(F)How do you start it over? (Em)
You (Dm)don't know if you can (Em)
You (F)don't care much for a (Em)stranger's touch
But you (Dm)can't hold your man (G)
 
(Chorus)
(Am) You never thought you'd (E/G#)be alone
(G)This far down the line (D/F#)
And (F)I know what's been on your (Em)mind
(C) You're a-(Dm)fraid it's all been (G)wasted (C)time
 
(Bridge)
(Bm) The autumn (Em)leaves have got you (Am)thinking
(Bm) About the (Em)first time that you (Am)fell
(Bm) You didn't (Em)love the boy (Am) too much, (G) no, no
You just (F) loved (Em) the boy (Dm)too well, (G) farewell
 
(Verse)
(C) So you live from (Fm)day to day (Bb)(Ab)(G)
And you (C)dream about (F)tomorrow, (G)oh
And the (F)hours go by like (Em)minutes
And the (Dm)shadows come to (Em)stay
So you (F) take a little something (Em)
To (Dm)make them go away(G) (G#)
 
(Chorus)
(Am) And I could have done so (G#)many things, baby
(G) If I could only stop (F#)my mind
From (F)wondrin' what I (Em)left be-(C)hind
And from (Dm)worrying 'bout this (G)wasted (C)time.
(Ab)Ooh, another love has come and (C)gone
(Ab)Ooh, and the years keep rushing (C)on (C)(Dm)
(Em)I re-(F)member what you told (Em)
Me before you (Dm)went out on your own (Em)
"Sometimes to (F) keep it together (Em)
You gotta (Dm)leave it alone.” (G) (G#)
So (Am)you can get on with your (G#) search, baby
And (G)I can get on with (D/F#)mine
And (F)maybe someday (Em)we (G)will (Em)find, that it
Wasn't (Dm)really (G)wasted (C)time (Em)(F)(G)

(Outro.)
(Ab)Oh, (Bb) (C)ooooh (Em)(F)(G)
(Ab)Oh, (Bb) (C)ooooh (Em)(F)(G)
(Ab)Oh, (Bb) (C)ooooh - - - - -
