[Verse 1]
C                       Fm6
  Well, baby, there you stand
C/G                                   F   G7
   with your little head down in your hand.
F              Am7
Oh my God, you can't believe
     Dm          Am7
it's happening again.
     F                      Am7
Your baby's gone and you're all alone
       Dm              F   G7
and it looks like the end.
 
[Verse 2]
C                              Fm6
  And you're back out on the street
C/G                         F   G7
   and you're tryin' to remember.
F                    Am7
How do you start it over?
    Dm                 Am7
You don't know if you can.
    F                     Am7
You don't care much for a stranger's touch
        Dm               G7
but you can't hold your man.
 
[Chorus]
Am                         E/G#
   You never thought you'd be alone
G                  D/F#
this far down the line
F                              Em
and I know what's been on your mind,
        Dm                  F  G7  C
you're afraid it's all been wasted time.
 
[Bridge]
Bm7            E7                  Am
    The autumn leaves have got you thinking
Bm7           E7                  Am
    about the first time that you fell.
Bm7            E7         Am        C/G
    You didn't love the boy too much, no no,
        F  C/G          Fm6   F   G    G7
you just loved the boy too we-ell well well
 
[Verse 3]
C                         Fm6
  So you live from day to day
C/G                   F          G7
   and you dream about tomorrow, oh.
        F                Am7
And the hours go by like minutes
        Dm              Am7
and the shadows come to stay.
     F                      Am7
So ya take a little something
   Dm             G7
to make them go away.
 
[Chorus]
Am                          E/G#
   And I could have done so many things, baby,
G                        D/F#
  if I could only stop my mind
     F                       Em
from wond'rin' what I left behind
         Dm                 G7     C
and from worryin' bout this wasted time.
 
Ab                             C
Ooh, another love has come and gone.
Ab                              C
Ooh, and the years keep rushing on.
    F                    Am7
I remember what you told me
          Dm                 Am7
before you went out on your own
            F                Am7
sometimes to keep it together
          Dm         G7
we got to leave it alone.
 
[Chorus]
   Am                   E/G#
So you can get on with your search, baby,
G                     D/F#
and I can get on with mine.
    F                     Em
And maybe someday we will find
        Dm            F  G7  C
that it wasn't really wasted time.

Thanks for the tab! I would change [F] Oh my God [Am7] you can't believe to: [F] Oh my God you [C/E] can't believe it's [Dm] happening again [C/E] Regards, Daniel

Tom: Thank you very much for posting this. I agree that it is perfect, except for the outro chords (after the last "time"). I suggest this instead (beat counts in parentheses): time C(1) C/E(1) C/F(1) C/G(1) Ab(4) C(1) C/E(1) C/F(1) C/G(1) Ab(3) Bb(1) C(1) C/E(1) C/F(1) C/G(1) Ab(4) Fm6(4) C(ring)
