Chords

[Intro] G Em [Verse 1]
     C              D               G       Em
You told me not to try and tie you down

   Am               D7              G       G7
So I just took my place and hung around

 C           D            G       Em
You always said that you must be free

            Am     D            Bm    Em
Well you couldn't see you were losing me

      A             A7                D     D7
And messing up the one good thing we had
[Chorus]
     Bb                            F
I'm going out the same way I came in

      Bb                          F
The game is over now, I couldn't win

 Bb             F
Down inside I feel a lack

     Gm                F
But this time girl I won't be back

      Eb                 Bb              G
And years from now I'll turn around and see
The girl I left behind me [Verse 2]
    C                 D             G        Em
I told myself that things would be OK

       Am            D7          G         G7
You'd come around to my way any day

C            D              G        Em
As time went on you just stayed the same

    Am                 D          Bm    Em
No you, you couldn't change or be rearranged

      A             A7            D      D7
I'm picking up the pieces of my life
[Chorus]
     Bb                            F
I'm going out the same way I came in

      Bb                          F
The game is over now, I couldn't win

 Bb             F
Down inside I feel a lack

     Gm                F
But this time girl I won't be back

      Eb                 Bb              G
And years from now I'll turn around and see
The girl I left behind me
