Verse #1:

A             E7                    A
Left alone to cry while he goes out singing
A                 E7                       A
And she don't see why a wedding bell ain't ringing

Verse #2:

A               E7                         A
Left alone to cry while he goes out rocking
A                 E7                   A
And she can't see why it ain't her he's socking

Verse #3:

A             E7                          A
Left alone to cry, life don't seem worth living
A                 E7                         A
It's time to say goodbye, you've done enough forgiving
