Intro: 
B, Em, B, Em, B ,Em, B, Em 
 
 
 
 
Bmaj7             E 
I only wanted to play 
 
                  Bmaj7                          D#m   G#7 
I thought what he didn't know wouldn't hurt him anyway 
 
     C#m             Em                    D#m             G# 
But he found out and someone else gave him her hand to hold 
 
               C#m         E   B   C#m   B (Em B Em) 
And suddenly I find myself out in the cold 
 
Bmaj7                  E 
He trusted me all the time 
 
                       Bmaj7                          D#m   G#7 
I thought I could see another man and he would still be mine 
 
     C#m             Em                    D#m        G# 
Well yesterday I had a good thing worth more than gold 
 
              C#m                  E   B   C#m   B (Intro) 
Today he's got a truer love and I'm out in the cold 
 
D#m                            C#m 
I had a love warmer than fire, but I listened to my desire 
    G#m                   F# 
Now yesterday's dreams are tomorrow's heart aches 
 
E     D#m C#m                     Bmaj7                           E 
I'm payin' for my mistakes, now girl, take a tip from one who knows 
 
                     Bmaj7                          D#m   G#7 
If you open up a new door, you may find the old one's closed 
 
     C#m             Em                     
So be true to your good man 
 
                    D#m               G# 
Take a lesson from the story I have told 
 
               C#m               E   D#m   C#m   B (Em B) 
Or you just might get a left now out in the cold 
 
            C#m                   E   D#m   C#m   B (Em B) 
You just might get a left now out in the cold 
          
         C#m                   E   D#m   C#m   B (Em B) 
Don't let yourself get left now out in the cold 
 
         C#m                      E   D#m   C#m   B 
Don't let yourself get a left now out in the cold
