C
It's a shame for you to do me the way you did babe
G                                   C
Making me put you down before I was through
F                               G
You tempted me and tried me and I kept you right beside me
D7                             G7
You ruined me for everyone but you

C
It's easy to love a thing so warm and soothing
G                                   C
That gets you through the night so tenderly
F                               C
but after all these nights with you all I remember
G                                            C
Is forgetting just how cold your heart could be


[Chorus]

F                       C           G                                C
Leaving you wont be any harder than walking out the door and leaving town
F                                     C                 Am
but I'll be leaving knowing surviving you don't make me stronger
G
Than the weakest man who ever turned you down

[Notes]
Runs Through chord progression once, on the last G, he replaces it with an G# (instead of G) 
to make the transition 

[Verse]

C#
The body in that pretty dress you wore dear
G#                              C#
Fit my shaking hand just like a glove
F#                               C#
but trembling's for the fearful old and crying
D#                              G#
Getting old and sad and scared ain't worth your love

C#
so will you let me go just like I came babe?
G#                                   C#
Willful clear of mind and free to see
F#                               C#
Clear enough to see the others like you
G#
and mindful my will breaks so easily


[Chorus]

F#                       C#           G#                                C#
Leaving you wont be any harder than walking out the door and leaving town
F#                                     C#               Bbm
but I'll be leaving knowing surviving you don't make me stronger
G#                                       C#
Than the weakest man who ever turned you down
