C          G6              Am 
I hear you knocking on the door,

but you ain't comin' in, no, no, 
        G6       Am 
to this house no more. 
      G6       C

You went a-sailin' on for that distant shore. 
C   G6  Am 
Oh, oh, oh...

True, we had love so true,  
   G6     C

G6 C           G6       Am 
So I, I had my hopes up high, 
     G6    C                        G6         Am 
till all I heard was goodbye when I called for you.

So you take it on the chin, 
         G6             Am 
yeah you take it on the weak chin. 
         G6        C 
Then you do it all again and again, 
        G6           Am 
tell me when will it end. 
    G6           C 
And now you come back,

          G6        C                               G6     Am 
with your head held high and your book of lies in a burlap sack. 
G6 C                         G6        Am     G6 
   I just don't know, honey, what went wrong. 
C                                G6      Am   G6 
Love just can't grow when you're gone so long.

I turn the key, you twist the knife, 
        Am

You've been a soldier, 
              G6   Am 
you've been a privateer, 
           G6           C              G6      Am 
now you're looking much older, yes you are, my dear. 
           G6   C 
Now you're back again, 
         G6     Am 
from the lion's den, 
             G6           C 
you've for a plagiarist's eye, 
             G6     Am   G6 
you've got a poison pen.

        Am

Which way the wind is going to blow.

No, you just don't know, 
G6            C      G6       Am    G6 
Just when the sky is going to fall. 


C                           G6 
Love can bend you, love can break, 
Am                             G6 
hearts can mend and hearts can ache. 
C                           G6 
Life will give you what you take, 
Am                              G6 
oh, life will give you what you take. 
C                           G6 
Love can bend you, love can break, 
Am                             G6 
hearts can mend and hearts can ache.
