| [G] why'd you do me this | [C] way | [G]

Well, I | [C] never felt more like | [F] cryin' all night
'Cause | [C] everything's wrong,
there | [F↓] ain't no- [Gdim7↓] thin' [G7↑] right with- | [F] out you,
| [G] you got me singin' the | [C] blues. | [C]

Chorus
Now the | [F] moon and stars no | [C] longer shine
The | [F] dream is gone I | [C] thought was mine
There's | [F] nothin' left for | [C] me to do
But | [C↓] Cry-y-y-y over | [G] you (cry over | [G] you)

Well, I | [C] never felt more like | [F] runnin' away
But | [C] how can I go when

| [G] you got me sing' the | [C] blues. | [C]
