[Notes]
Cooley tunes a half step down for this. So the actual key he sings in is Bb.
[Verse]
C It's a shame for you to do me the way you did babe G C Making me put you down before I was through F G You tempted me and tried me and I kept you right beside me D7 G7 You ruined me for everyone but you C It's easy to love a thing so warm and soothing G C That gets you through the night so tenderly F C but after all these nights with you all I remember G C Is forgetting just how cold your heart could be
[Chorus]
F C G C Leaving you wont be any harder than walking out the door and leaving town F C Am but I'll be leaving knowing surviving you don't make me stronger G Than the weakest man who ever turned you down
[Notes]
Runs Through chord progression once, on the last G, he replaces it with an G# (instead of G)
to make the transition
[Verse]
C# The body in that pretty dress you wore dear G# C# Fit my shaking hand just like a glove F# C# but trembling's for the fearful old and crying D# G# Getting old and sad and scared ain't worth your love C# so will you let me go just like I came babe? G# C# Willful clear of mind and free to see F# C# Clear enough to see the others like you G# and mindful my will breaks so easily
[Chorus]
F# C# G# C# Leaving you wont be any harder than walking out the door and leaving town F# C# Bbm but I'll be leaving knowing surviving you don't make me stronger G# C# Than the weakest man who ever turned you down
