Verse 1:
DDon't bother cryin', dGon't bother crawlin'
IDt's all over now, Ano use in stallin'
The lDove I once felt, I don't feel anymGore for you
TDhis time I'll even oApen the door for you
YDou walked out when D7I was down
Well nGow I'm well off
And lE7ook who's comin' rAound
Chorus:
WhDere were yGou when I needed you
WhDere were yAou when I wanted you
WhDere were yGou when I needed you
CaddD G/B G/A G [as per intro]
Where..ere...ere
Verse 2:
You're lookin' good, it's hard to fight it
But no use explainin', I've already decided
That livin' with you, it's worse than without you
I won't spend a lifetime a-worryin' about you
Oh, things got rough and you disappeared
Now I'm back on my feet
But look, look who's standing there
[repeat chorus]
Harpsichord solo:

Verse 3:
Oh, you were so young, and you were so wild
I knew you were nobody's innocent child
That first day I saw you, you really got to me
I thought I could change you, what good did it do me
Oh, things got rough and you wouldn't wait
Now you're tripping back
But babe, it's too late
[repeat chorus to fade]
