 Intro:
 C Fm6 /Bb /Ab C/G G7 
       
 Verse 1:
 C                       Fm6 /Bb /Ab 
  Well, baby, there you stand
 C/G                                 G11  G7 
  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            Dm             G11 G7 
 Your baby's gone and you're all alone and it looks like the end.
 
 Verse 2:
 (repeat verse 1 chords above)
 And you're back out on the street
 and you're tryin' to remember.
 How do you start it over? You don't know if you can.
 You don't care much for a stranger's touch but you can't hold your man.
 
 Chorus:
 Am                          E/G# 
  You never thought you'd be alone
 G                   D/F# 
 this far down the line
     F                           Em  
 and I know what's been on your mind,
        Dm                   G11 G7 C    
 you're afraid it's all been wasted time.
 
 Bridge:
 Bm7        E7           Am              
  The autumn leaves have got you thinking
 Bm7       E7          Am            /Bb 
  about the first time that you fell.
 Bm7        E7        Am            C/G   
  You didn't love the boy too much, no no,
         F   C/E            Fm6         G11 G7 
 you just loved the boy too well____ er-well
 
 Verse 3:
 (same as verse 1)
 So you live from day to day
 and you dream about tomorrow, oh.
 And the hours go by like minutes and the shadows come to stay.
 So ya take a little something to make them go away.
 
 Chorus:
 (same as above chorus)
 And I could have done so many things, baby,
 if I could only stop my mind
 from wond'rin' what I left behind
 and from worryin' bout this wasted time.
 
 Ab                     C            
 Ooh, another love has come and gone.
 Ab                      C          /D /E 
 Ooh, and the years keep rushing on.
   F                 C/E            Dm            C/E        
 I remember what you told me before you went out on your own:
         F             C/E               Dm        G11  
 sometimes to keep it together we got to leave it alone.
 
 Chorus:
 (same as above chorus)
 So you can get on with your search, baby,
 and I can get on with mine.
 And maybe someday we will find
         Dm            G11 G7 C    /E /F /G 
 that it wasn't really wasted time.
