Intro:
CFm6BbAbCGG7Verse 1:
CFm6BbAb
Well, baby, there you stand
C/GG11G7
with your little head down in your hand.
FC/EDmCE
Oh my God, you can't believe it's happening again.
FCEDmG11G7
Your baby's gone and you're all alone and it looks like the end.
Verse 2:
And you're back out on the street
and you're tryin' to remember.
How do you start it over? You don't know if you can.
You don't care much for a stranger's touch but you can't hold your man.
Chorus:
AmEAb
You never thought you'd be alone
GDGb
this far down the line
FEm
and I know what's been on your mind,
DmG11G7C
you're afraid it's all been wasted time.
Bridge:
Bm7E7Am
The autumn leaves have got you thinking
Bm7E7AmBb
about the first time that you fell.
Bm7E7AmCG
You didn't love the boy too much, no no,
FC/EFm6G11G7
you just loved the boy too well____ er-well
Verse 3:
So you live from day to day
and you dream about tomorrow, oh.
And the hours go by like minutes and the shadows come to stay.
So ya take a little something to make them go away.
Chorus:
And I could have done so many things, baby,
if I could only stop my mind
from wond'rin' what I left behind
and from worryin' bout this wasted time.
AbC
Ooh, another love has come and gone.
AbCDE
Ooh, and the years keep rushing on.
FCEDmCE
I remember what you told me before you went out on your own:
FCEDmG11
sometimes to keep it together we got to leave it alone.
Chorus:
So you can get on with your search, baby,
and I can get on with mine.
And maybe someday we will find
DmG11G7CEFG
that it wasn't really wasted time.
