Verse 1:
[C] Well, baby, there you [Fm6] stand
[C/G] with your little head down in your [F]hand. [G7]
[F]Oh my God, you [Am7] can’t believe its [Dm] happening again. [Am7]
Your [F]baby's gone and you're [Am7] all alone and it [Dm] looks like the [F]end. [G7]

Verse 2:
[C] And you're back out on the [Fm6] street
[C/G] and you're tryin' to [F]remember. [G7]
[F] How do you start it over? [Am7] You [Dm] don't know if you can. [Am7]
You [F] don't care much for a [Am7] stranger's touch but you [Dm] can't hold your [G7] man.

Chorus:
[Am] You never thought you'd [E/G#] be alone
[G]this far downs the [D/F#] line
and [F] I know what's been on your [Em] mind,
you're a[Dm]fraid it's all been [F]was[G7]ted [C]time.

Bridge:
[Bm7] The autumn [E7]leaves have got you [Am]thinking
[Bm7] about the [E7]first time that you [Am]fell.
[Bm7] You didn't [E7]love the bo[Am]y too much[C/G], no no,
you just[F] lov[C/G]ed the boy [Fm6]too well_[F]___ [G]er-[G7]well

Verse 3:
[C] So you live from day to [Fm6] day
[C/G] and you dream about [F] tomorrow, [G7] oh.
[F] And the hours go by like [Am7] minutes and the [Dm] shadows come to stay. [Am7]
So ya [F] take a little [Am7] something to [Dm] make them go [G7] away.

Chorus:
[Am] And I could have done so [E/G#] many things, baby,
[G] if I could only stop my [D/F#] mind
from [F] wond'rin' what I left be[Em]hind
and from [Dm] worryin' bout this [G7] wasted [C] time.

[Ab]Ooh, another love has come and [C]gone.
[Ab]Ooh, and the years keep rushing [C]on.
I[F]remember what you told me[Am7]before you[Dm]went out on your own[Am7]
sometimes to [F] keep it together[Am7]we got to [Dm]leave it alone. [G7]

Chorus:
So [Am] you can get on with [E/G#] your search, baby,
[G] and I can get on with [D/F#] mine.
And [F] maybe someday we will [Em] find
that it [Dm]wasn't really [F]was[G7]ted [C]time.

[Am7][F][C/G][Ab][C][Am7][F][C/G][Ab][Fm6][C]
