[G] [C] [Bm]
[Am] [D] [G]
[Bm] [Em] [G]
[C] [Bm] [Am]
[A] [G] Standing [Bm] here alone, [Em] looking [G] up to the [C] sky
[Bm] Even the stars [Am] seem to be made
[D] And I ask [Em] myself why
I can't [A] understand why
I never [Am] made a play
When [Bm] you were so [G] pretty to me in every [Am] [F] way
[C] Why [Em] couldn't I see
[Am] You were [Dm] in [G] love with [C] me
[Am] Why didn't I know [D] just which way to go
[C] [G] Now I cannot forget her
[Bb] [F] Sweated and tilted for fear
[C] And now I'm [Bm] a [Am] sufferer
Oh, [Ab] everybody knows this woman [G] I love
What [Bm] will I [Em] become
[G] Loneliness [C] blends with sun
But dear [Bm] for me I [Am] already see
[D] I [Ebm] don't want you away [Em] from me
If only [A] I wasn't so blind
And gave you [Am] some kind of sign
[Bm] This might not have been
[Em] Yes, it's [Am] me [G] standing out [C] looking [Em] in
Throw your [Am] heart out the [Dm] door
I guess [G] I won't do it no [C] more
[Am] Now I got [D] to suffer
The woman I [C] loved
[G] It seems sometimes [Bb] in [F] life
You waste a sacrifice
[C] The lack of [Bm] the love you show
[C] Can show one [D] thing right on out the [G] door
[Bm] [Em] [G]
[C] [Bm] [Am]
[C] [D] [G] [Bm]
[Em] [G] [C]
[Bm] [Am] [C]
[Em] Why couldn't I see
[A] You were in love with me
[Am] This might [Bm] not have been
[G] Yes, it's me [F] standing [G] out looking [C] in
Throw your [G] heart out [Am] the door
I guess [F] I won't [G] do that [C] no more
[Am] Now I got to suffer
[D] The love I loved
The woman [C] I loved
[G] It seems sometimes [Bb] in [F] life
You waste a sacrifice
[C] [G] I don't know what [F] comes over me
But it's [G] got to let it be
[F] Suffer
I [C] got to [G] suffer
[Bb]
[F] Suffer
[Am] Got [G] to, [Bb] got [F] to
[Am] [G]
Suffer
[Bb] [F]
[C] [G] Suffer Suffer
[Bb] Got [F] to, got [C] [G] to
