[Verse 1]
E
Walkin' out
       B6
Didn't talk it out
E7                    E4
Now she's gone so you can't mark it out
Am                E
I'm all alone and I must do without
B9                       B
All the love that I can't live without

[Verse 2]
E
Played along
        B6
Did her wrong
E7                    E4
And I don't blame the girl for being gone
Am                E
I was cheating on her all along
B9                    B
I can't really see her stayin' on

[Chorus]
E
When a man is being loved
   E4
He takes it for granted
E
 He can't see himself fallin'
E4
  He thinks he's on top
E
 Oh, but it's not the fall
E4
 That hurts him at all
B9              B
It's the sudden stop

[Verse 4]
E
Suddenly
            B6
She stopped loving me
E7                          E4
Found me running 'round and set me free
Am                 E
Now my misery is my company
B9                       B
And I'm missing her touch constantly

[Outro]
E
Walkin' out
       B6
Didn't talk it out
E7                    E4
Now she's gone so you can't mark it out
Am                E
I'm all alone and I must do without
B9                       B
All the love that I can't live without
E
Walkin' out
       B6
Didn't talk it out
E7                    E4
Now she's gone so you can't mark it out
