Introdução: Am F7 B7 E7 Am F7 B7 E7 
 
 Am           Am7/G          F7       E7 
Love me or leave me, or let me be lonely 
Am          Am7/G        F7       E7 
You won't believe me, I love you only 
      C         Am        F         G          C  Am F7 E7 
I'd rather be lonely than happy with someone else 
  Am         Am7/G          F7           E7 
You might find the night time the right time for kissin' 
  Am        Am7/G         F7      G7 
But night time is my time for just reminiscin' 
   C          Am            F        G           C  E7 
Regrettin' instead of forgettin' with somebody else 
Bridge 
Am          Am7   A7              Dm   A7   Dm  Dm7+ 
There'll be no one unless that someone is you 
    G                    G7     C Dm7 Am7 E7 
I intend to be independently blue 
Am            Am7/G        F7         E7 
I want your love, but I don't want to borrow 
 Am            Am7/G     F7      G7 
To have it today to give back tomorrow, 
    C       Am 
For my love is your love 
   F            G7         C  
There's no love for nobody else
