         A       xx7655          A+      xx7665

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

         [1, 3: E7sus4  E7        2: C# E G# (single notes)]
                   /  /  /  /

 Verse 2:

         Time goes slowly but carries on
         And now the best years have come and gone
         You took me by surprise
         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

         Laughing - because you're doing it to me
         Laughing - oh, what you're doing to me
         You took away everything I had
                             A  [1: repeat intro  2: to coda]
         You put the hurt on me

 Verse 3 (as per verse 1):

         I'll go alone now calling your name
         After losing at the game
         You took me by surprise
         I didn't realize that you were laughing

 [repeat verse 2]

 [repeat chorus]

 Coda (repeat to fade):

         D    A           Bm
         Laughing - ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
