Verse 1:
DCon't bother cryin', dFon't bother crawlin'
ICt's all over now, Gno use in stallin'
The lCove I once felt, I don't feel anymFore for you
TChis time I'll even oGpen the door for you
YCou walked out when C7I was down
Well nFow I'm well off
And lD7ook who's comin' rGound
Chorus:
WhCere were yFou when I needed you
WhCere were yGou when I wanted you
WhCere were yFou 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]
