CAs you sit there in your Floneliness  Cconfused as you must G7be
I'm Fsure a dozen Cquestions come to G7mind
And if Cyou're wondering why FI left you  Cafter all you've done for G7me
I Fguess you'll have to G7blame it on the Ctimes
The Fmany times you had your way Cno matter what the cost
And Fthe many times you took for granted Clove you now have G7lost
And if CI've hurt you Fdarling  I don't Cmean to be unG7kind
I Fguess you'll have to G7blame it on the Ctimes
That small conceited Fworld of yours  Ccould never underG7stand
That Fto want to stand Calone is not a G7crime
And Cif for one time Fin my life  CI'm acting like a G7man
I Fguess you'll have to G7blame it on the Ctimes
FBlame it on the many times a Chiding place I'd seek
FAfraid to say what's on my mind and Cashamed for being G7weak
So if Cat last I'm Fseeing  Cafter so long being G7blind
I Fsuppose you'll have to G7blame it on the Ctimes

C F C G7

As you sit there in your loneliness confused as you must be

I'm sure a dozen questions come to mind

C F C G7

And if you're wondering why I left you after all you've done for me

F G7 C

I guess you'll have to blame it on the times

F C

The many times you had your way no matter what the cost

And the many times you took for granted love you now have lost

C F C G7

And if I've hurt you darling I don't mean to be unkind

F G7 C

I guess you'll have to blame it on the times

F C G7

That small conceited world of yours could never understand

That to want to stand alone is not a crime

C F C G7

And if for one time in my life I'm acting like a man

F G7 C

I guess you'll have to blame it on the times

F C

Blame it on the many times a hiding place I'd seek

Afraid to say what's on my mind and ashamed for being weak

So if at last I'm seeing after so long being blind

F G7 C

I suppose you'll have to blame it on the times
