Fate is mighty cruel
FF Piano Chord 

Where true love is concerned
C-7C-7 Piano Chord 

It seems you give out more
/
Than you ever have returned
FF Piano Chord 

Lately I have tried
C-7C-7 Piano Chord 

To make it on my own
FF Piano Chord 

Another nite has passed
|D            GG Piano Chord 

Looks like I^Òm bound to be alone
|C-7
Bound to be alone

Now solitude is fine
When you really need it
When your soul is dry
Sometimes loneliness can feed it
When you need a lover
You know there^Òs nothin^Ò else will do
When you need love most
You know it turns it^Òs back on you

    |C                    |
Oh, I can make it thru without your company
GG Piano Chord 
                     |C                     |
I only wish I knew why you won^Òt comfort me
FF Piano Chord 
                  GG Piano Chord 

I thot that I could count on you
|A-             CC Piano Chord 

To hear me cryin^Ò out
|F               DD Piano Chord 

I guess that^Òs one comfort

I will    learn to do without

Fallin love too easily
But never quite so fast
so you are not the first and, lord
You sure won^Òt be the last
The thing about the situation
C-C- Piano Chord 
               FF Piano Chord 

That makes me feel so sad
C-C- Piano Chord 
                  FF Piano Chord 

I could^Òve been the best old friend

That you have ever had
I could^Òve been the best old friend
That you have ever had
