CFm6
Well baby, there you stand
C/GF/G
With your little head, down in your hand
FC/EDmC/E
Oh, my God, you can't believe it's happening again
FC/E
Your baby's gone, and you're all alone
DmG7
And it looks like the end.
CFm6
And you're back out on the street,
C/EF/GG7
And you're tryin' to remember.
FC/E
How do you start it over?
DmC/E
You don't know if you can.
FC/E
You don't care much for a stranger's touch,
DmG7
But you can't hold your man.
[Chorus]
AmE7/G#
You never thought you'd be alone
GD7/F#
This far down the line
FEm
And I know what's been on your mind
DmG7C
You're afraid it's all been wasted time.
[Bridge]
Bm7EAm
The autumn leaves have got you thinking
Bm7EAm
About the first time that you fell
Bm7EAmC/G
You didn't love the boy too much, no, no
FEmDmG7
You just loved the boy too well, farewell.
[Verse]
CFm6
So you live from day to day,
C/GF/GG7
And you dream about tomorrow, oh,
FC/E
And the hours go by like minutes
DmC/E
And the shadows come to stay
FC/E
So you take a little something
DmG7
To make them go away.
[Chorus]
AmE7/G#
And I could have done so many things, baby
GD7/F#
If I could only stop my mind
FEm
From wondrin' what I left behind
DmG7C
And from worrying 'bout this wasted time.
AbC
Ooh, another love has come and gone
AbCCDmC/E
Ooh, and the years keep rushing on
FC/E
I remember what you told
DmC/E
me before you went out on your own:
FC/E
"Sometimes to keep it together,
DmG7
You gotta leave it alone."
AmE7/G#
So you can get on with your search, baby,
GD7/F#
And I can get on with mine
FEm
And maybe someday we will find, that it
DmG7C
Wasn't really wasted time.
AbBbC
Oh ooooh,
AbBbC
Oh ooooh,
AbFmC
Oh ooooh.
