  C           C7        F
I told her to leave me alone

F                 C                    G7
That's what she's done, just what she's done

      C            C7             F
And a house built for two ain't a home

          F           C              G7
When it's lived in by one, one lonely one

    F        Bb          F                             C   Bb   F
And I can no longer hear footsteps from right down the hall

F    Em   Dm  C                      G7               C   F   C7
Here come the teardrops, bitter they are, harder they fall
[Bridge]
C7            F     C7  F
She caught me lying

     F   Em     Dm C
Then she caught a  train

     C           D7
Then I caught a fever

        D7          Dm   Bb  G7
Walking home in the rain
[Verse 2]
         C
But it's over and I’m done

              C7           F   C7   F
She's left me once and for all

F    Em   Dm  C                      G7               C      F
Here come the teardrops, bitter they are, harder they fall

F    Em   Dm  C                      G7               F  Bb  F
Here come the teardrops, bitter they are, harder they fall
F Em Dm C F C F [Outro]
  C           C7        F
I told her to leave me alone

F                 C                    G7
That's what she's done, just what she's done

      C               C7          F
And a house built for two ain't a home

          F           C              G7
When it's lived in by one, one lonely one...
