She wore a blue dress when she walked in the room 
G          C               Am                  D 
And in her eyes the look I saw was filled with gloom 
G           Am                Em             A 
Is this the question I would answer all too soon 
C              D                        C G D 
Come tell your friend what's wrong with you 
G             C       C/B  Am      D 
Why don't you call me your baby anymore 
G       C                C/B      Am             D 
Am I so changed from some strange love that went before 
G           Am                  Em                 A  
Is this the change of mind that I've been designed for 
C            D    C G  D 
Why not your baby anymore 
G              C               Am                  D 
Those words we spoke they only seemed to block our way 
G               C           Am                       D 
The truth rang out when you called me and called my name 
G            Am         Em           A 
I don't know what I can do or I can say 
C              D             C  G D 
Your good friends also find a way
