C                        F           C                    G7 
As you sit there in your loneliness  confused as you must be 
    F            C                 G7 
I'm sure a dozen questions come to mind 
       C                    F           C                         G7 
And if you're wondering why I left you  after all you've done for me 
  F                    G7              C 
I guess you'll have to blame it on the times 

    F                           C 
The many times you had your way no matter what the cost 
    F                                   C                 G7 
And the many times you took for granted love you now have lost 
       C             F                C            G7 
And if I've hurt you darling  I don't mean to be unkind 
  F                    G7              C 
I guess you'll have to blame it on the times 

                     F               C                G7 
That small conceited world of yours  could never understand 
     F                C              G7 
That to want to stand alone is not a crime 
    C               F           C                 G7 
And if for one time in my life  I'm acting like a man 
  F                    G7              C 
I guess you'll have to blame it on the times 

F                            C 
Blame it on the many times a hiding place I'd seek 
F                                   C                 G7 
Afraid to say what's on my mind and ashamed for being weak 
      C           F       C                  G7 
So if at last I'm seeing  after so long being blind 
  F                      G7              C 
I suppose you'll have to blame it on the times
