Verse 1:

	 D                    G
	Don't bother cryin', don't bother crawlin'
	 D                 A
	It's all over now, no use in stallin'
	     D                                 G
	The love I once felt, I don't feel anymore for you
	 D                   A
	This time I'll even open the door for you
	 D                  D7
	You walked out when I was down
	      G
	Well now I'm well off
	     E7                A
	And look who's comin' round

Chorus:

	  D         G
	Where were you when I needed you
	  D         A
	Where were you when I wanted you
	  D         G
	Where were you when I needed you
	CaddD  G/B   G/A  G	[as per intro]
	Where..ere...ere

Verse 2:

	You're lookin' good, it's hard to fight it
	But no use explainin', I've already decided
	That livin' with you, it's worse than without you
	I won't spend a lifetime a-worryin' about you
	Oh, things got rough and you disappeared
	Now I'm back on my feet
	But look, look who's standing there

[repeat chorus]

Harpsichord solo:

	D                          G        D   A    D
	/ / / /  / / / /  / / / /  / / / /  / / / /  / / / /

Verse 3:

	Oh, you were so young, and you were so wild
	I knew you were nobody's innocent child
	That first day I saw you, you really got to me
	I thought I could change you, what good did it do me
	Oh, things got rough and you wouldn't wait
	Now you're tripping back
	But babe, it's too late

[repeat chorus to fade]
