5  -5  -5*  6  5
The night is bitter
5  -5  -5  -5*  -5*  6  5
The stars have lost their glitter
5  -5  -5*  6  5
The winds grow colder
5  -5  -5  -5*  -5*  6  5
And suddenly you're older
5  -6  7  -7  -6  5  -6
And all because of the man
7  -7  -6  -7*__
That got away

9  9  9  9  9  9__
No more his eager call
-9  9  9  9  9  9__
The writing's on the wall
-9*  9  9  9  9  9
The dreams you dreamed have all
-7  7  -7__
Gone astray

5  -5  -5*  6  5
The man that won you
5  -5  -5  -5*  -5*  6  5
Has run off and undone you
5  -5  -5*  6  5
That great beginning
5  -5  -5  -5*  -5*  6  5
Has seen its final inning

5  -6  7  -7  -6
Don't know what happened
5  -6  7  -7  -6  -9__
It's all a crazy game
-9  -9  -9  -9  -9  -9__
No more that all time thrill
10  -9  -9  -9  -6  -7*__
For you've been through the mill
-7  -7  -7  -7  -7  9  -7_
And never a new love will
-6  -6  -6__
Be the same

5  -5  -6  -7  -7*__
Good riddance, good-bye
5*  -5  -7*  -7  -7*  -7  -8__  9__
Every trick of his you're on to
9  -9_  -6  7  -7
But fools will be fools
-7*  9  -9  -9*__  10__
And where's he gone to

5  -5  -5*  6  5
The road gets rougher
5  -5  -5  -5*  -5*  6  5
It's lonelier and tougher
5  -5  -5*  6  5
With hope you burn up
5  -5  -5  -5*  -5*  6  5
Tomorrow he will turn up
5  -6  7  -7  -6
There's just no let up
5  -6  7  -7  -6  -9__
The live long night and day

-5  9  -9  -9  -9  -9  -9
Ever since this world began
-9  9  -9  -9  -9  -6  -7*__
There is nothing sadder than
-7  -6  7  -7  -7  -6  -5  -6  -6  7  7
A one-man woman looking for the man
-7  -6  -6__
That got away
5  9__  -7*  -7  9__  7*__  7__
The man that got away
