  Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling,  tell me baby, where did I go wrong?

  I could put my arms around every (girl) I see,  but they'd only remind me of you
 D                                           A
  So I went to the doctor and guess what he told me, guess what he told me, he said
   Bm                                           F#m
  (boy) you better try and have fun, no matter what you do, but he's a fool

  All the flowers that you planted mumma, in the backyard, all died when (she) went away
 D                                      A            Bm
