- 1976

- So many people have asked for this song that I decided to put it up. I really
- didn't want to because it's all piano, but I guess I will finally have to do it.
- Have fun with it!
-
-
- Verse 1:
- C Fm6
- Well, baby, there you stand
- C/G F G7
- with your little head down in your hand.
- F Am7 Dm Am7
- Oh my God, you can't believe it's happening again.
- F Am7 Dm F 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 F 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
- about the first time that you fell.
- Bm7 E7 Am C/G
- You didn't love the boy too much, no no,
- F C/G Fm6 F G 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
- Ooh, and the years keep rushing on.
- F Am7 Dm Am7
- I remember what you told me before you went out on your own:
- F Am7 Dm G7
- sometimes to keep it together we got to leave it alone.
-
- Chorus:
- (same as above)
- So you can get on with your search, baby,
- and I can get on with mine.
- And maybe someday we will find
