 C- F C- F
 C-7
 Fate is mighty cruel
 F
 Where true love is concerned
 C-7
 It seems you give out more
      /
 Than you ever have returned
 F
 Lately I have tried
    C-7
 To make it on my own
  F
 Another nite has passed
               |D            G
 Looks like I^Òm bound to be alone
              |C-7
 Bound to be alone
 
 Now solitude is fine
 When you really need it
 When your soul is dry
 Sometimes loneliness can feed it
 When you need a lover
 You know there^Òs nothin^Ò else will do
 When you need love most
 You know it turns it^Òs back on you
 
    |A-           F    |C                    |
 Oh, I can make it thru without your company
 G                     |C                     |
 I only wish I knew why you won^Òt comfort me
 F                  G
 I thot that I could count on you
   |A-             C
 To hear me cryin^Ò out
  |F               D
 I guess that^Òs one comfort
       |2/4 G         Bb  |C-  |F |C- |F |
 I will    learn to do without
 
 Fallin love too easily
 But never quite so fast
 so you are not the first and, lord
 You sure won^Òt be the last
 The thing about the situation
      C-               F
 That makes me feel so sad
 C-                  F
 I could^Òve been the best old friend
     |D        G    C-  F |C- / |
 That you have ever had
 I could^Òve been the best old friend
 That you have ever had
 
 | = bar line; / = play same as previous chord
 No bar line = chord gets entire measure's time
 Within bar lines chords divide measure accordingly
