(C) Travelling the lonely road of (G7)) sorrow,
Heartaches is all I've ever (C) known;
(F) Time has turned a million (C) pages,
(G7) Fate has dealt and I'm (C) alone,
The little stars all twinkle (G7) brighter,
The moon shines gaily from the (C) blue;
The (F) flowers seem to spread more (C) beauty,
(G7) Oh, so glad 'cause I met (C) you.
(G7) But somewhere along life's (C) highway,
(G7) From your new love you may (C) part;
And then you'll (C7) reap the (F) pains my (C) darling,
(G7) That go with a broken (C) heart.
Though you made my life a failure,
I have never been untrue;
And these lonely years I've wasted,
All because my love for you.
You played your game to leave me darling,
Your game I did not understand;
So you dealt the cards against me,
And I played the losing hand.
Chorus:
