verse 1 
    C 
The good times I thought that we were havin' 
C                                             C7 
must not have been as good as good as I recall. 
    F                           C      A7 
But why am I the only one who's hurtin' 
    D7                                 G        G7 
and feelin' like the whole thing's all my fault? 
   C 
Re-member how I always said I loved you 
C                                      C7 
and wanted to be with you all the time? 
      F                 F#dim7       C       A7 
And I never changed the way I felt a-bout you 
   D7                G                C    C7 
so tell me how could all the fault be mine? 

F                         C 
I've been hurtin' way too long. 
     D                            G 
Some nights I even sit and cry un-til the break of dawn. 
F#  F                             C  B Bb A 
And now I know just what I got to do, 
   D7                G          C 
to-night I'm walkin' out on the blues.

I tried ev'ry way I know to please you. 
C                                      C7 
Ev'ry day I work my fingers to the bone,

to buy you ev'ry-thing you ever wanted 
    D7                               G    G7 
and now I'm spending all my nights a-lone.

So now I'm gonna try to please myself, dear,

and do some things I've always wanted to 
      F          F#dim7              C         A7 
I'm going out to-night and have some fun for a change,

and I won't be here thinkin' of you.

I've been hurtin' way too long.

Some nights I even sit and cry un-til the break of dawn.

And now I know just what I got to do,
