C Fm6
Well baby, there you stand
C/G F/G
With your little head, down in your hand
F C/E Dm C/E
Oh, my God, you can't believe it's happening again
F C/E
Your baby's gone, and you're all alone
Dm G7
And it looks like the end.
C Fm6
And you're back out on the street,
C/E F/G G7
And you're tryin' to remenber.
F C/E
How will you start it over?
Dm C/E
You don't know if you can
F C/E
You don't care much for a strange's touch,
Dm G7
But you can't hold your man.
Am E7/G#
You never thought you'd be alone
G D7/F#
This far down the line
F Em
And I know what's been on your mind
Dm G7 C
You're afraid it's all been wasted time.
Bm7 E Am
The autumn leaves have got you thinking
Bm7 E Am
About the first time that you feel
Bm7 E Am C/G
You didn't love the boy too much, no, no
F Em Dm G7
You just loved the boy to well, Farewell.
C Fm6
So you live from day to day,
C/G F/G G7
And you dream about tomorrow, oh,
F C/E
And the hours go by like minutes
Dm C/E
And the shadows come to stay
F C/E
So you take a little something to
Dm G7
make them go away.
Am E7/G#
And I could have done so many things, baby
G D7/F#
If I could only stop my mind
F Em
From wondrin' what I left behind
Dm G7 C
And from worrying 'bout this wasted time.
Ab C
Ooh, another love has come and gone
Ab C C Dm C/E
Ooh, and the years keep rushing on
F C/E
I remember what you told
Dm C/E
me before you went out on your own:
F C/E
"Sometimes to keep it together,
Dm G7
We got to leave it alone."
Am E7/G#
So you can get on with your search, baby,
G D7/F#
And I can get on with mine
F Em
And maybe someday we will find, that it
Dm G7 C
Wasn't really wasted time.
Ab Bb C
Oh ooooh,
Ab Bb C
Oh ooooh,
Ab Bb C
Oh ooooh.
