Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][D][Dsus4][Am][D]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Fate is mighty cruel
Where [D]true love is concerned
It [Am]seems you give out more
Than you ever have returned
[D]Lately I have tried
To [Am]make it on my own
[D]Another night has passed
Looks like [B]I'm bound to be alone
[Em]Bound to be alon[Am]e

[Verse 2]
Now solitude [D]is fine
When you really need it
[Am]When your soul is dry
Sometimes loneliness can feed it
[D]When you need a lover
You know [Am]there's nothing else will do
[D]When you need love most
You know [B]it turns it's back on [E]you

[Verse 3]
Oh, [F#m]I can make it t[D]hrough
[Am]without your company
[A]I o[E]nly wish I[Em] knew why
[Am]you won't [B]comfort [Am]me
[D]I thought that I could count[E] on you
To [F#m]hear me crying o[A]ut
[D]I guess that's one c[B]omfort
[E]I will learn to do w[Am]ithout[D]
[Dsus4][Am][Dsus4]

[Verse 4]
[D]
[Am]Falling love too easily
But [D]never quite so fast
[Am]So you are not the first and, lord
You sure won't be the last
[D]The thing about the situation
That [Am]makes me feel so [D]sad
[Am]I could've been the be[D] st old friend
That [B]you have [E]ever [A]had[D][Am]
I could've been [D]the best old friend
[B]That you[E] have eve[Em]r had[E][Am]
