    C - Em - C7 - C

 

       C                       Em

1. Walkin' out, didn't talk it out,

C7                                       F

    now she's gone, so you can mark it out.

Fm                              C

    I'm all alone and I must do without,

D                                     - G

    all the love that I can't         live without.

 

    C                     - Em

2.     Led her on,          did her wrong,

C7                                               F

    and I don't blame the girl for being gone.

Fm                                   - C

    I was cheating on her         all along,

D                                  - G

    I can't really see her        staying on.

 

Am                                                 D

    When a man's being loved, he takes it for granted,

Am                                                  D

    he can’t feel himself falling, he thinks he's on top.

Am                                   - F

    Oh, but it's not the fall       that hurts him at all,

D                            G   - - -

    it's the sudden stop. - - -

 

      C                                 Em

3. Suddenly, she stopped loving me,

C7                                                  F

    caught me running 'round and set me free.

Fm                                  - C

    Now my misery is my         company,

D                                           - G

    and I'm missing her touch         constantly.

 

       C                         Em

4. Walking out, didn't talk it out,

C7                                               F

    now she's gone, so you can mark it out.

Fm                                               C

    Now she's gone, so you can mark it out,

D                              G

    all the love that I can't live without.
