[Verse 1]
           A          A+
I should laugh but I cry
              A6                 A7
Because your love has passed me by
                 Dmaj7
You took me by surprise
              Dm7               C#m7 N.C.  E7sus4 E7
You didn't realize that I was waiting

[Verse 2]
             A               A+
Time goes slowly but carries on
             A6                       A7
And now the best years have come and gone
                 Dmaj7
You took me by surprise
            Dm7                  C#m7   C# E G# (single notes)
I didn't realize that you were laughing

[Chorus]
D    A                    Bm
Laughing - because you're doing it to me
D    A                    Bm
Laughing - that ain't the way it should be
    D                      E
You took away everything I had
                    A
You put the hurt on me
D    A                    Bm
Laughing - because you're doing it to me
D    A                     Bm
Laughing - that ain't the way it should be
    D                      E
You took away everything I had
                    A
You put the hurt on me

[Verse 3]
        A                    A+
I go alone now calling your name
        A6           A7
After losing at the game
                 Dmaj7
You took me by surprise
           Dm7                   C#m     E7sus4  E7
I didn't realize that you were laughing

[Verse 4]
             A               A+
Time goes slowly but carries on
             A6                                       A7
And now the best years, the best years have come and gone
                 Dmaj7
You took me by surprise
            Dm7                  C#m7    C# E G# (single notes)
I didn't realize that you were laughing

[Chorus]
D    A                    Bm
Laughing - because you're doing it to me
D    A                    Bm
Laughing - that ain't the way it should be
    D                      E
You took away everything I had
                    A
You put the hurt on me
D    A                    Bm
Laughing - because you're doing it to me
D    A                    Bm
Laughing - that ain't the way it should be
    D                      E
You took away everything I had
                    A
You put the hurt on me

[Coda] (repeat to fade)
D    A           Bm
Laughing - ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
