Intro: A (7 measures single strum on downbeat)

I should laugh, but I cry because your love has passed me by

You took me by surprise, you didn't realize but I was waiting (8 beats)

Time goes slowly, but carries on and now the best years have come and gone

You took me by surprise, I didn't realize that you were laughing (note: C# E G#)

Laughing, 'cause you're doin' it to me

Laughing, it ain't the way it should be

You took away everything I had, you put the hurt on me

Laughing, 'cause you're doin' it to me

Laughing, it ain't the way it should be

You took away everything I had, you put the hurt on me (A for 7 beats)

I go alone now, calling your name after losing at the game

You took me by surprise, I didn't realize that you were laughing (E for 8 beats)

Time goes slowly, but carries on and now the best years have come and gone
