_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Cm] It's made up [Bb] my mind, well, _ _ _ _ said [Eb] I wasn't going to turn around [Bb] this time.
_ _ _ _ _ [Eb]
But _ oh, it gets so lonely sometimes.
_ _ _ [Ebm] And it's great to go lonely times.
_ _ _ [C] _ _
[Bb] _ Seems like [F] I _ [Gm] got you all wrong.
_ _ [Cm] _ _ _
Nobody _ _ [F] _ _ [E] else to blame.
