F 
I'll lock myself away
  F
And not face one more day
                        Gm
On the streets of this town
Gm
And all I've got to lose
                          C
Is a feelin' called the blues
                   F
And a little old frown


[Verse 2]
F
I signed your dotted line
F
And did my best at tryin'
                     Gm
Givin' all I could give
Gm
And all I've gotten back
                         C
Is this feelin' that I lack
                       F
What I'm needing to live


[Chorus]
 Gm
And you say you don't see it
   F
When a grown man starts to cry
  Gm               Bb                   C
You turn your face away and you walk on by

 F
I found myself a girl
F
Who brightened up my world
                  Gm
From December to May
Gm
And then ran off with Jim
                   C
But I'll defer to him
                  F
And his purple beret
  F
'Cause he knows how to wheel and deal
                                        Gm
And not to feel when he's knockin' you down
Gm
And I know he'll succeed
                               C
'Cause that’s just what you need
                        F
On the streets of this town

 Gm
And you say you don't see it
  F
When a grown man starts to cry
  Gm                Bb                  C
You turn your face away and you walk on by


[Instrumental Bridge]
F Gm C F


 F
I'll lock myself away
F
And not face one more day
                         Gm
On the streets of this town
Gm
And all I've got to lose
                          C
Is a feelin' called the blues
                     F
That's been going around
F
I fit your crazy norm and wore your uniform
                     Gm
Where you told me to go
Gm
And got back in return
                                 C
This here feelin' that I've learned
                   F
What the Indians know

 Gm
And you say you don't see it
  F
When a grown man starts to cry
 Gm                 Bb                  C
You turn your face away and you walk on by
