Intro: C G6 Am G6 C (2x) 

C          G6              Am 
I hear you knocking on the door, 
    G6               C 
but you ain't comin' in, no, no, 
        G6       Am 
to this house no more. 
      G6       C 
Cause it ain't like, 
         G6            Am 
it ain't like it was before. 
    G6     C                   G6      Am 
You went a-sailin' on for that distant shore. 
C   G6  Am 
Oh, oh, oh... 


C            G6      Am 
True, we had love so true,  
   G6     C 
oh we had skies so blue, 
       G6       Am 
we had skies so blue. 
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. 


F                   C         G6 
I turn the key, you twist the knife, 
        Am 
I can't win, 
           F 
no I can't win. 
           C               Em                      Am 
Now you're knockin' on the door but you can't come in. 
   Am 
Oh no... 


                      C 
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         Am 
oh yeah, you crawled on 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. 


F                   C         G6 
I turn the key, you twist the knife, 
        Am 
I can't win, 
           F 
no I can't win. 
           C               Em                      Am 
Now you're knockin' on the door but you can't come in. 
   Am 
Oh no... 


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


              C 
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. 


F                   C         G6 
I turn the key, you twist the knife, 
        Am 
I can't win, 
           F 
no I can't win. 
           C               Em                      Am 
Now you're knockin' on the door but you can't come in. 
   Am 
Oh no... 


G6-C    G6         Am 
Oh, you just don't know, 
G6            C       G6       Am    G6 
Which way the wind is going to blow. 
C            G6    Am 
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.
