1. Don't bother crying, don't bother calling,
D A
it's all over now, no use in
stalling.
D G
The love I once felt, I don't
feel anymore for you,
D A
this time I'll even open the
door for you.

You walked out when I was down,

2. You're looking good, it's hard to fight it,
D A
there's no use explaining, I've
already decided
D G
that living with you is worse
than without you,
D A
I won't spend a lifetime
a-worrying about you.

Oh, things get rough and you
disappeared
G E A

now I'm back on my feet, and
look, look who is standing there.

3. You were so young and you were
so wild,
D A
I knew you were nobody's
innocent child.
D G
The first day I saw you, you
really got me,
D A
I thought I could change you,
what good did it to me?
D
Oh, things got rough and you
couldn't wait.
G E A
- A7
now you're tripping back, but
babe, babe, it's too late !
