[G]There you go and baby, here am I
Well you [D]left me here so I could sit and cry
Well a, [G]golly gee what have you done to me
Well I [D]guess it doesn’t matter any [G]more.


[G]Do you remember baby, last September
How you [D]held me tight each and every [D]night
Well, [G]whoops a daisy how you drove me crazy
But I [Am]guess it doesn’t [D]matter any [G]more. [Em]


[Em]There’s no use in me a [Bm]crying
I’ve [G]done everything and now I’m sick of trying
I’ve [A]thrown away my nights
And wasted all my days over [D]you. [D7] [D6] [D]


Now you go [G]your way and I’ll go mine
[D]Now and forever ’till the end of time… I’ll find
Somebody [G]new and baby we’ll say we’re through through
And [D]you won’t matter any [G]more.

And wasted all my days over [D]you. [D7] [D6] [D]


Now you go [G]your way and I’ll go mine
[D]Now and forever ’till the end of time… I’ll find
Somebody [G]new and baby we’ll say we’re through through
And [D]you won’t matter any [G]more.
