[Verse 1]
G7Told you baby, one more time
Don't make me sit all alone and cry
Well, it's D7over, I C7know it but I can't let G7go
I'm like a G7fish out of water, a cat in a tree
You don't even wanna talk to me
Well, it's D7over, I C7know it but I can't let G7go
[Chorus]
He won't G7take me back when I come around
Says he's sorry then he puts me out
I got a C7big chain around my neck
And I'm G7broken down like a train wreck
Well, it's D7over, I C7know it but I can't let G7go
[Verse 2]
See G7I got a candle and it burns so bright
In my window every night
Well, it's D7over, I C7know it but I can't let G7go
G7You don't like to see me standing around
Feel like I been shot and didn't fall down
Well, it's D7over, I C7know it but I can't let G7go
[Chorus]
He won't G7take me back when I come around
Says he's sorry then he puts me out
I got a C7big chain around my neck
And I'm G7broken down like a train wreck
Well, it's D7over, I C7know it but I can't let G7go
[Solo]

[Verse 3]
G7Turn off trouble like you turn off a light
Went off and left me, it just ain't right
Well, it's D7over, I C7know it but I can't let G7go
AG7round every corner something I see
Brings me right back how I used to be
Well, it's D7over, I C7know it but I can't let G7go
[Chorus]
He won't G7take me back when I come around
Says he's sorry then he puts me out
I got a C7big chain around my neck
And I'm G7broken down like a train wreck
Well, it's D7over, I C7know it but I can't let G7go
He won't G7take me back when I come around
Says he's sorry then he puts me out
I got a C7big chain around my neck
And I'm G7broken down like a train wreck
[Outro]
Well, it's D7over, I C7know it but I can't let G7go
It's D7over, I C7know it but I can't let G7go
It's D7over, I C7know it but I can't let G7go
It's D7over, I C7know it but I can't let G7go
