A    D   Cdim A            D        Fdim         A  
The night is bitter, the stars have lost their glitter  
     Bm   Cdim   A         Bm   Fdim       A  
The winds grow colder, and suddenly you're older  
    D   Em F#m  Em      D   Em  F#m A G    Gdim  
And all because of the man that got   away  
   Em7             A7       Bm       Edim     A  
No more his eager call, the writing's on the wall  
     Em          A          Em7 Edim    D   Em7  D7M  Em7  
The dreams you dreamed have all gone astray  
     D  Cdim A            D      Fdim    A  
The man that won you has gone off and undone you  
     Bm   Cdim A           Bm     Fdim   A  
That great beginning has seen the final inning  
        D  Fdim F#m      Em     D  Em  F#m A    B7  
Don't know what happened  it's all a   crazy game  
   Em7                 A7/9       D6           Edim       B7  
No more that all-time thrill, for you've been through the mill  
    G     G/F#   E7       A7/13 Edim     D  
And never      a new love will  be the same  

Bridge:

Good riddance, good-bye  
C7      B7         E7 A7/9  
Ev'ry trick of his you're on  to  
      D6   Em7 F#m  B7         D9    Em7 Fdim A7  
But, fools will be fools, and where's he gone to  
     D  Cdim  A             D        Fdim   A  
The road gets rougher, it's lonelier    and tougher  
     Bm  Cdim  A          Bm   Fdim     A  
With hope you burn up, tomorrow he may turn up  
        D  Fdim F#m   Em      D   Em   F#m    A  B7  
There's just no letup    the live-long night and day  
      G          Em7     A4/7  Edim     D      F#7    B7   
Ever since this world began, there is nothing sadder than  
   G5+  G6/F# A7/13  Em7     G5+    G6/F#    A7/13 Edim  
A one - man  woman looking for the man that got  away  
    A7   G/B  A  Edim D   Cdim A7 D  
The man that got    away
