I walked out of your apartment, I left you sleeping on [G] your bed.
[D]
I wanted to look back over [F] my shoulder, [C]
but I did not turn my [G]
head.
We [C] had a good arrangement.
Yes, we did.
But now I felt the [G] need to move.
[D]
But things had not worked out [Em] like a pain,
[D]
because I'd [C] become attached [G] to you.
[C]
[D] There was [G] no way to [D] tell you, baby,
[Em]
all the things I had [D] to say.
So I just [E] walked away.
I missed you.
[A] [E]
[B]
[B] [D]
[A] A misting rain had [G] started [C]
falling,
the kind that chills you to the [G] bone.
[D]
And I had a soul [F] for feeling,
[C]
but it did not stay too [G]
long.
[C] [G]
Ooh, I knew I had it [C]
coming,
but I believed it had come [G] and gone.
[D]
And this lonesome feeling [Em]
inside me,
makes [D]
me [C] know I stayed [G] too long.
[C] [G]
[D] There [C] was [G] no way to [D]
tell you, baby,
[Em]
all the things I wanted [D] to say.
So I just walked [Em]
away.
[Em]
I left you, baby.
Ooh, I hated to go,
but I just could not explain to you the way I felt about it.
Ooh, baby.
Ooh, I left you.
I hated to leave you sleeping on your bed.
When you needed me most,
ooh, I left you.
A misting rain was falling,
the kind that chills you when you need somebody to lay beside you.
And at the time that I picked you to leave you,
and I hated to do it,
but I just couldn't tell you the way I felt about it.
Ooh, baby.
I wanted so bad to find some way of just coming out and telling you
that I did not want to.
Ooh, but I just couldn't.
