G                                   C 
Stay away from me you're causing me trouble 

               G                  D7 
It's been that way since from the start  

           G                    C 
Go on your way you have another waiting  

               G         D7          G 
Stay away from me you're breaking my heart 


              C                   G 
Oh the sky is blue and the sun is shinning  

                                 D7 
And# Autumn leaves have turned to brown  

            G              C 
I loved you so but I can't have you  

               G   D7          G 
Stay away from me  stay out of town 


                                     C 
Stay away from me I know what you're after 
  
             G           D7 
It's best if we stay far apart 
  
               G              C 
You brought me pain no joy no laughter  

               G         D7          G 
Stay away from me you're breaking my heart 


              C                   G 
Oh the sky is blue and the sun is shinning  

                                 D7 
And# Autumn leaves have turned to brown  

            G              C 
I loved you so but I can't have you  

               G   D7          G 
Stay away from me  stay out of town
