Fate is mighty cruel 
F 
Where true love is concerned 
C7 
It seems you give out more 
     / 
Than you ever have returned 
F 
Lately I have tried 
   C7 
To make it on my own 
 F 
Another nite has passed 
               D            G 
Looks like I^ҭ bound to be alone 
              C7 
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^ҳ nothin^Ҡelse will do 
When you need love most 
You know it turns it^ҳ back on you 
 
    A            F     C                      
Oh, I can make it thru without your company 
G                      C                       
I only wish I knew why you won^Ҵ comfort me 
F                  G 
I thot that I could count on you 
   A              C 
To hear me cryin^Ҡout 
  F               D 
I guess that^ҳ one comfort 
       2/4 G         Bb   C    F  C   F   
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^Ҵ be the last 
The thing about the situation 
     C                F 
That makes me feel so sad 
C                   F 
I could^Ҷe been the best old friend 
     D        G    C   F  C  /   
That you have ever had 
I could^Ҷe been the best old friend 
That you have ever had
