A D A
My baby left me just the other day
A D A
I guess the things will never be the same
D
But I must forget that she is gone
A E A
Cause time goes by and life goes on
A D D A
making plans, shaking hands
A D D A
try to prove that I'm a man
D
It's hard to do but I must try
A E A
cause life goes on and so will I
{Solo: play riff 2 times}
It's been kinda tough these last few days
trying to act normal and be gay
It's not easy to be all alone
but time goes by and life goes on
If I see her anywhere
I hope she thinks that I don't care
For after night there comes the dawn
Yes time goes by and life goes on
{Outro: once the riff and fade out}
