                C           D7       G7       E       Am G   F
                She took my hand and tried to make me un-der-stand
                               D7        G      D G
                That she would always be there
               C             D7  G7            E        Am G F
                But I looked away and she ran away from me today
                           D7     G    Em Am
                I'm such a lonely man
                        Am            F           Fm7
                        It came as no surprise to me
                        Am                     F   Fm7
                        That she'd leave me in misery
                        Am            F           Fm7
                        Seemed like only yesterday
                        Fm7        Fm6      Fm7         Fm6 C
                        She made a vow that she'd never go away
                C           D7       G7       E       Am G   F
                She took my hand and tried to make me un-der-stand
                               D7        G      D G
                That she would always be there
               C             D7  G7            E        Am G F
                But I looked away and she ran away from me today
                           D7     G    Em Am
                I'm such a lonely man
                        Am        F        Fm7
                        And if it seemed a sin
                        Am       F            Fm7
                        To love another man's woman
                        Am           F       Fm7
                        I guess I'll keep on sinnin'
                        Fm7   Fm6 Fm7  Fm6               F  
                        Lovin her      till my very last day

                But I looked away and she ran away from me today
                           D7     G    Em Am
                I'm such a lonely man
