G        C
I walked out of your apartment, I left you 
         D       G
sleeping on your bed.
  D                        G  F         C
I wanted to look back over my shoulder, but 
                  G
I did not turn my head.

G             C
We had a good arrangement, yes, we did.
                           G
But now I felt the need to move.
D   F#m                   G          Em
But things had not worked out like I planned,
D            C                G
cause I've become attached to you.
Chorus:
D            G      D               Em7
There was no way to tell you, baby, all the 
                D          Em
things I had to say..so, I just walked away.
Interlude: Am Em D Em D

        G                C        D   C
Mistin' rain had started falling, the kind 
                F#m    G    D
that chills you to the bone.
G     D             F        C
And I had a soulful feeling, but it did not 
         G
stay too long.
                    C
Oh, I knew I had it coming, but I believe it'd 
         G
come and gone.
D                 G         Em       D
And this lonesome feeling inside me, makes me 
C                 G
know I stayed too long.
Chorus:
D            G      D               Em7
There was no way to tell you, baby, all the 
                D          Em
things I had to say..so, I just walked away.

Em               D        Em           D     Em
I left you baby, ooooo, I hated to go, but I just 
could not explain the way I felt about it.
Am    Em
Oooo, baby, ooo, I left you, I hated to leave you
         D       Em
sleeping on your bed, when you needed me most.
Am          Em
Ooo, I left you.

  B       Em
A mistin' rain was falling, the kind that chills 
             Am       Em
you when you need somebody to lay beside you.
               E           Em
And that's the time that I picked to leave you 
and I hated to go.

But it just couldn't tell you the way I felt about 
the situation.
Outro:
Em                                            A
Oooo, ooo, baby, I wanted so bad to find some way
   Em
of just coming out and telling you that I did not 
want to love you so much.
                              Em7          Em
Oh, but I just couldn't, so I just walked away.
