[Chorus]
F Bb
Well, you're back on my doorstep a-cryin
F C
Li-ike I cried for all those lonely years
F Bb F
But I can't dry your tears, it's been too long since love was here
C F
And I've already gave you my better years

[Verse 1]
F Bb
And so the pages of time kept right on turning (Oh, yes they do)
F C
They never stop for us to harvest the years
F Bb
And old embers of love kept right on dying
F C F
For there was no-one to dry my tears

[Chorus]
F Bb
And you're back on my doorstep a-cryin
F C
Li-ike I cried for all those lonely years
F Bb F
But I can't dry your tears, it's been too long since love was here
C F
And I've already gave you my better years

[Instrumental]
F Bb F C F

[Verse 2]
F Bb
And I'll try not to blame you, I'll try not to shame you
F C
All I can do now is wish you well
F Bb F
But if you should need a friend, I'll be there till the end
C F
Oh but don't ask me to love you again

[Verse 3]
F Bb
And don't come back on my doorstep a-cryin
F C
Ho-oping for what's been dead so long
F Bb
For the embers have long turned to ashes
F C F
There's nothing here but old memories and this song
Bb
And don't come back on my doorstep a-cryin
F C F
My friend there's nothing but old memories and this song
