C7
Ooh, the girl I love walked out on me

Leaving her love flowing strong

Oh, my heart would like to carry on
C7
But she said her feeling for me was gone

I tried to find the words to say to make her stay


[Chorus]
C/E                     G/D             C
But she said she couldn't stand it for another day
C/E                     G/D             C
So the only thing that's left for me to say
    C
Oh, change what you can
                Dm
But when you can't leave it alone
          G                                             C
Have the sense to know the difference between the two


[Verse 2]
C7
I know the girl is on her way

Taking the love I need so bad

Oh, the love I guessed I'd never have
C7
So what's the use of sitting around and feeling sad

I must respect the fact she won't be back my way


[Chorus]
C/E             G/D                     C
Cause she said she couldn't stand it for another day
C/E             G/D                     C
So the only thing that's left for me to say
        C
Oh, change what you can
              Dm
But when you can't leave it alone
        G
Have the sense to know the difference between the two
