[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] 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

If only [A] I wasn't so blind
And gave you [Am] some kind of sign

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
