[Verse]
[C]Well baby, there you [Fm6]stand
[C/G]With your little head, down in your [F/G]hand
[F]Oh, my God, you [C/E]can't believe it's [Dm]happening [C/E]again
[F]Your baby's gone, and you're [C/E]all alone
And it [Dm]looks like the [G7]end.
[C]And you're back out on the [Fm6]street,
[C/E]And you're tryin' to [F/G]remembe[G7]remember.
[F]How do you start it [C/E]over?
You[Dm]You don't know if you [C/E]can.
You [F]don't care much for a s[C/E]stranger's touch,
But you [Dm]can't hold your [G7]man.
[Chorus]
[Am]You never thought you'd [E7/G#]be alone
[G]This far down the [D7/F#]line
[F]And I know what's been on your [Em]mind
You're [Dm]afraid it's all been [G7]wasted [C]time.
[Bridge]
[Bm7]The autumn [E]leaves have got you [Am]thinking
[Bm7]About the [E]first time that you [Am]fell
[Bm7]You didn't l[E]love the boy [Am]too much,[C/G]much, no, no
You just [F]loved [Em]the boy too [Dm]well, [G7]farewell.
[Verse]
[C]So you live from day to [Fm6]day,
[C/G]And you dream about to[F/G]tomorrow, o[G7]oh,
And the [F]hours go by like [C/E]minutes
And the [Dm]shadows come to [C/E]stay
So you [F]take a little some[C/E]something
To [Dm]make them go a[G7]away.
[Chorus]
[Am]And I could have done so [E7/G#]many things, baby
If [G]I could only stop my [D7/F#]mind
From [F]wondrin' what I left be[Em]behind
And from [Dm]worrying 'bout this [G7]wasted [C]time.
[Ab]Ooh, another love has come and [C]gone
[Ab]Ooh, and the years keep rushing [C]on [C] [Dm] [C/E]
I re[F]remember what you [C/E]told
me be[Dm]before you went out on your [C/E]own:
"Sometimes to [F]keep it toget[C/E]together,
You gotta [Dm]leave it a[G7]alone."
So [Am]you can get on with your [E7/G#]search, baby,
And [G]I can get on with [D7/F#]mine
And [F]maybe someday we will [Em]find, that it
[Dm]Wasn't really w[G7]wasted [C]time.
[Ab]Oh oooo[Bb]ooooh, [C]
[Ab]Oh oooo[Bb]ooooh, [C]
[Ab]Oh oooo[Bb]ooooh. [C]
