C                              G7
 Travelling the lonely road of sorrow, 
                                    C
        Heartaches is all I've ever known; 
    F                         C
    Time has turned a million pages, 
    G7                     C
    Fate has dealt and I'm alone, 
                                       G7
          The little stars all twinkle brighter, 
                                         C
          The moon shines gaily from the blue; 
              F                           C
          The flowers seem to spread more beauty, 
       G7                       C
       Oh, so glad 'cause I met you. 
          G7                         C
          But somewhere along life's highway, 
           G7                         C
           From your new love you may part; 
                                   C7       F        C
                   And then you'll reap the pains my darling, 
            G7                    C
            That go with a broken heart.  
 
   Though you made my life a failure, 
   I have never been untrue; 
   And these lonely years I've wasted, 
   All because my love for you. 
   You played your game to leave me darling, 
   Your game I did not understand; 
   So you dealt the cards against me, 
   And I played the losing hand. 
 
                  Chorus:
