Once I had myself a good woman
But I just didn't treat her right
             C#7
I was always leaving
               Ab7
Livin' a party life
True love was waiting for me
I was much too blind to see
                           C#7
Till she told me she would leave me
                             Ab7
I said that's all right with me
             Eb7
Oh now she's gone
                   C#7
Realize I lost the best thing there is
                           Ab7   Eb7
And my pride keeps telling me

Let your loss be your lesson

                        Ab7
Heaven knows I miss her lovin'
Heaven knows how much I cry
                      C#7
Just to think she had left me
                      Ab7
And I know the reason why
I could tell she had been cryin'
It didn't seem to bother me
                            C#7
Cause I know there's no one blinder
                              Ab7
Than a fool who just couldn't see
          Eb7
Now she's gone
                     C#7
I realize I lost the best thing there is
                           Ab7   Eb7
And my pride keeps tellin' me
Let your loss be your lesson
