G5             D5
Divorcee goes to the bars
  C5
A sophisticat pulls up in his car
G5                     D5                     C5
A hopeful youth waits for the first star to come out
G5                 D5               C5
The sky above can be so mean, the clouds cover what should be seen
G5                    D5                C5
And there ain't much left too keen in my book

G5 // D5 // C5 //// 

Hangin' on to someone else, he tells you that peace sells
And you see him like all's well, I ain't jealous
Though you used to listen to me,
My inner thoughts have made you flee
I know you were just tryin' to be what you want to be

A5              G5
I let you in to see me for real
A5                              G5            G/f#
And you walked right out that's what I feel
E5           D5                 G5 G5 C5 G5  G5 G5 C5 G5
You said you needed time to be alone

Chorus:
A5                   G5
And like the youth I looked above
A5               G5            G/f#
Feeling stranded without love
E5           D5                           G5
The time was wrong, and you left me in a hole
    D5          C5                      G5
You left me in hole (you left me in a hole)
    D5          C5
You left me in hole

G5 D5 C5 C5 (solo break)

The rain it comes, the rain it goes
The question is, she friend or foe
The story-teller looks to his toes, he's stuck here
The dragon's breath is on my neck
Which way is home, hold on a sec
The bartender put a bottle of beer on the table

Many people, they believe that Jesus came here to relieve
All the problems that we breathe on each other
And I don't care just what you do,
Or what you think, that's up to you
You see, those thoughts of yours are not new to me at all

A5                            G5
And is it these thoughts that made you believe
A5                           G5                G/f#
That there's nothing here so you shall leave
E5          D5                                G5 G5 C5 G5  G5 G5 C5 G5
While I sit here with my guitar in my hand

Chorus:
A5                   G5
And like the youth I looked above
A5               G5            G/f#
Feeling stranded without love
E5           D5                           G5
The time was wrong, and you left me in a hole
    D5          C5                      G5
You left me in hole (you left me in a hole)
    D5          C5
You left me in hole

[Instrumental Break]

A hungry baby starts to cry, an old man's about to die
And all I can do is sit back and sigh, what's my problem
Ignore the problem , that's the key
Said the woman beneath the tree
If your eyes are closed, you can't see the sunrise

The phone, it rings, who could it be
Well, it ain't her, and it's not for me
Forgetting's as easy as 1-2-3 my friends say
Her face is still all too clear, her leaving me was my biggest fear
Something's got to help me steer away from her

You have your life, and I have mine,
Maybe we'll meet again some other time
Down the long road, on another plain

[ Chorus ]

You left me in hole (you left me in a hole)...
