#1.

D#                   G#

Don't bother crying, don't bother calling..

D#                         A#

it's all over now, there's no use in stalling.

    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#                                    G#

You walked out when I was down..well, now I'm well 

        F                       A#   A#7

off and look, look who’s comin' rou..nd.

D#         G#

Where were you when I needed you?

Whe...re?



#2.

D#                   G#

You're looking good, it's hard to fight it..

D#                          A#

but no use to explain, I've already decided..

D#                     G#

that goin' with you is worse than without you..

D#                       A#

I won't spend a lifetime worryin' about you.

D#

When things got bad, you disappeared..

        G#                  F

but I'm back on my feet and look, look, who’s 

         A#   A#7

standin' the..re.

Whe...re?



#3.

D#                    G#

You were so young and you were so wild..

D#                       A#

I knew you were nobody's innocent child.

D#                            G#

That first day I saw you, you really got to me..

D#                            A#

I thought I could change you, what good did 



it do me?

D#

When times got rough, ah, you wouldn't wait..

      G#                            F

well, now you're trippin' back and, babe, babe, 

         A#  A#7

it's too la..te.

C# G# D#

Whe...re?
