D                                                A
When I was a young boy nothing much mattered to me
You were a girl and a half and you saw
                 D
yourself a mystery
We got together for a while,
                                A
I did everything you wanted me to
Well I tried and you lied,
                              D
I was left here back in the blue

Chorus:
D                                   E
If you're gonna run, are you gonna run today?
G                             D
Is it because I'm out on the road?
F                 C                     D
You never had it good, you never had it anyway
 G         A           G
More more more making waves

I was always right there when you wanted to play
You were living in a scene from
a dream every night and day
And I never found a way to make it better for you
Oh I tried and I tried but you left me
back in the blue

Chorus

What you gonna do now? Nothing left,
nothing to say
Well I must have been a fool
to believe in you anyway
When I tried to find a way or
something that I could do
You threw it all in my face
and you left me back in the blue
