ADCdimADFdimA
The night is bitter, the stars have lost their glitter
BmCdimABmFdimA
The winds grow colder, and suddenly you're older
DEmF#mEmDEmF#mAGGdim
And all because of the man that got away
Em7A7BmEdimA
No more his eager call, the writing's on the wall
EmAEm7EdimDEm7 D7M Em7
The dreams you dreamed have all gone astray
DCdimADFdimA
The man that won you has gone off and undone you
BmCdimABmFdimA
That great beginning has seen the final inning
DFdimF#mEmDEmF#mAB7
Don't know what happened it's all a crazy game
Em7A7/9 D6EdimB7
No more that all-time thrill, for you've been through the million
GG/F#E7A7/13 EdimD
And never a new love will be the same
Bridge:
DEm7DGdim
Good riddance, good-bye
C7B7E7A7/9
Ev'ry trick of his you're on to
D6Em7F#mB7D9Em7FdimA7
But, fools will be fools, and where's he gone to
DCdimADFdimA
The road gets rougher, it's lonelier and tougher
BmCdimABmFdimA
With hope you burn up, tomorrow he may turn up
DFdimF#mEmDEmF#mAB7
There's just no letup the live-long night and day
GEm7 A4/7 EdimDF#7B7
Ever since this world began, there is nothing sadder than
G5+ G6/F#A7/13 Em7 G5+ G6/F#A7/13 EdimA one - man woman looking for the man that got away
A7G/BAEdimDCdimA7D
The man that got away
