Verse 1:

D G
Don't bother cryin', don't bother crawlin'
D A
It's all over now, no use in stallin'
D G
The love I once felt, I don't feel anymore for you
D A
This time I'll even open the door for you
D D7
You walked out when I was down
G
Well now I'm well off
E7 A
And look who's comin' round

Chorus:

D G
Where were you when I needed you
D A
Where were you when I wanted you
D G
Where were you 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:

D G D A D

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]
