G    Em


[Verse 1]
     C              D               G       Em
You told me not to try and tie you down
   Am               D7              G       G7
So I just took my place and hung around
 C           D            G       Em
You always said that you must be free
            Am     D            Bm    Em
Well you couldn't see you were losing me
      A             A7                D     D7
And messing up the one good thing we had


[Chorus]
     Bb                            F
I'm going out the same way I came in
      Bb                          F
The game is over now, I couldn't win
 Bb             F
Down inside I feel a lack
     Gm                F
But this time girl I won't be back
      Eb                 Bb              G
And years from now I'll turn around and see

The girl I left behind me


[Verse 2]
    C                 D             G        Em
I told myself that things would be OK
       Am            D7          G         G7
You'd come around to my way any day
C            D              G        Em
As time went on you just stayed the same
    Am                 D          Bm    Em
No you, you couldn't change or be rearranged
      A             A7            D      D7
I'm picking up the pieces of my life


[Chorus]
     Bb                            F
I'm going out the same way I came in
      Bb                          F
The game is over now, I couldn't win
 Bb             F
Down inside I feel a lack
     Gm                F
But this time girl I won't be back
      Eb                 Bb              G
And years from now I'll turn around and see
