Verse 1:

F        C7         F
Somebody met you by chance
             C7         Cm6  D7
Broke up our prett-y ro-mance
Gm           C7
You tried to hide
F        A7 Dm
What was in-side
      G7                      C7
But I I saw the truth in your glance

F               C7            F
Last night when you passed me by,
A         E7          A
I felt so blue I could cry
Dm     Bb7   Cm        D7
If you see a change in me
G7                     C7 DmC7
I've got a good reason why

Chorus:

  C7       F          F7
I wouldn't be where I am
Bb             Bbm6
Feelin' like I am
F            Bbm6
Doin' what I am
       F      C7     F
If you hadn't gone a-way

                       F7
I wouldn't sit here and laugh
Bb            Bbm6
At your photo-graph
F              Bbm6
That I tore in half
       F      C7     F
If you hadn't gone a-way

      Bb
Where-ever I go
Edim F
What-ever I do
F7Bb
I want you to know
EdimF           C7
I blame it on you

            F        F7
And if it's all over town
Bb         Bbm6
That I run around
F             Cm6     D7
Here is all I have to say

           G7
I wouldn't be where I am
Edim         Bbm6
Doin’ what I am
F     C7             F
If you hadn't gone a-way

Verse 2:

F               C7       F
Although you're sorry we met
           C7         Cm6 D7
You had so much to re-gret
Gm              C7
You're laughing now,
F A7        Dm
I feel some-how
     G7                         C7
That I'll have the laugh on you yet

F                C7      F
Don't waste your pity on me
A            E7          A
I don't need your sym-pa-thy
Dm     Bb7
If I'm blue
   Cm       D7
Be-cause of you
G7                       C7FC7
Someday how sorry you'll be
