           C
Well, I no longer can recall

        F                 C
All the times you made me crawl

                                           G7
All the times you made me hang my head and cry

    C
But still the teardrops fall

F                        C
And lord what's worst of all

G                                 F       C
I just ain't got the nerve to say goodbye

    F
I'm waitin' for the day

          C
When I can hide my love away

                                    G7    
And stand up like a man so tall and free

            F
Then you'll be the one to say

   C      C/B         Am
Oh darlin', can't you stay

G                               F               C
I don't know what I'd do if you should leave me

     C
Oh girl, I don't know why

     F             C
You always have to try

                            G7 
To hurt me to make me feel ashamed

        C
Oh, but someday by and by

             F             C
You're gonna be the one to cry

G                                  F      C
And walk the floor and sadly call my name

    F
I'm waitin' for the day

          C
When I can hide my love away

                                    G7
And stand up like a man so tall and free

            F
Then you'll be the one to say

   C      C/B         Am
Oh darlin', can't you stay

G                                    F          C
I don't know what I'd do if you should leave me

           C
Oh, but it looks like until then

     F                  C
I'll throw pride to the wind

                                     G7
And try to make believe that I don't know

       C
That a day is comin' when

         F              C
You won't do me wrong again

G                            F       C
And I will be the one to turn and go

    F
I'm waitin' for the day

          C
When I can hide my love away

                                    G7
And stand up like a man so tall and free

            F
Then you'll be the one to say

   C      C/B         Am
Oh darlin', can't you stay

G                                     F          C
I don't know what I'd do if you should leave me

G                                     F          C
I don't know what I'd do if you should leave me
