[Verse 1]
F C
There's been a few changes since you've been around
Dm C Bb
You're not gonna like what you hear
F C
You gave her up and you walked out the door
Bb Dm C
She hasn't thought about you in years
[Verse 2]
F C
Well how could you leave her alone there to cry
Dm C Bb
With no one to turn to or call
F C
But you left a hurt I helped her get over
Bb C F
And we fell in love through it all
[Chorus]
Bb C F
Don't be expecting to waltz right in
Dm C Bb
There's something that you gotta know
F C
She doesn't love you, she doesn't love you
Bb C F
That was a long time ago
[Verse 3]
F C
She only has room for one man in her life
Dm C Bb
And lately that one man is me
F C
The last thing she needed was you coming back
Bb Dm C
Stirring up old memories
[Verse 4]
F C
Ah, you gotta leave, I'm the one man she needs
Dm C Bb
It's easy to see by her smile
F C
I gave her strength, and she gave me love
Bb C F
And soon she will give me a child
[Chorus]
Bb C F
Don't be expecting to waltz right in
Dm C Bb
There's something that you gotta know
F C
She doesn't love you, she doesn't love you
Bb C F
That was a long time ago
[Chorus]
Bb C F
Don't be expecting to waltz right in
Dm C Bb
There's something that you gotta know
F C
She doesn't love you, she doesn't love you
Bb F Dm Bb
That was a long time, that was a long time
G C F
That was a long time ago
