[Verse]
D D/C
I once heard a story
Em7 Gm
about a man and his girl
D/F# Bm7
She treated him so bad but for some
Em7 G/A A7
reason he couldn’t let her go
D D/C
And then one day in the winter
Em7 Gm
he couldn't take it no more
D/F# Bm7
he went back to the town that he conce came from
Em7
so then she was no more
G/A A7
But for me that is unfortunately not so
[Verse]
D D/C
Cause I don't understand
Em7
why it makes me so sad
Bm7
I've lost one of the worst friends I had
Em7
I should be happy instead
D D/C
and there's been so much pain
Em7
and there's been so much war
Bm7
I don't know who I keep on crying for
Em7
I should be happy instead

This guy he falls in love
Em7 Gm
whith some nice girl from the neighborhood

and a Sunday night they would go
Em7 G/A A7
walking and see the kids go by
D D/C
He can go out drinking
Em7 Gm
and have a ball with the boys

Instead I'm sitting home all alone drinking
Em7
and still I'm wondering why
G/A A7
But these memories won't leave me alone
[Bridge]
Em7 A7
So why d'you sit all alone in your room

Hell I don't know
Em7 A7
So why d'you sit all alone in your room
Bm7
It's just me and my door and this bottle of whine
