      A   G          D
I saw red, stayed at home
A         G         D
Placed a big pillow over the phone
         A   G          D    
In this town where I'm from
            A                G            D
I've learned two is so much better than one

          fis      D
But you left me alone
     A              fis                A         E
You can't put your arms around what's already gone
          fis           D
Watch you sink like a stone

You can't put your arms around what's already gone

Well, you hurt to the core
             A           G         D
You used to kiss like no one had done before
          A     G        D
And your taste turned me on
          A        G                D
Now you drive me real crazy just by being born
         fis                       D

Watch you sink like a stone
          A          fis                A        E
You can't put your arms around what's already gone

          A    G          D
Took the tram 'round the bay
          A      G           D
Where everyone tells you to have a nice day
         A     G      D
And my pride almost broke
          A           G            D   
When the tears don't fit you, you look like a joke
          a                        F
And you left (left left left) me alone (left me alone)
      C              a                   C       G
You can't put your arms around what's already gone
        a             F
Cryin' eyes gettin' worn
      C              a                   C       G
You can't put your arms around what's already gone
        a                          F
Hey, you left (left left left) me alone (left me alone)

You can't put your arms around what's already gone
        a             F
Watch you sink like a stone
      C              a                   C       G
You can't put your arms around what's already gone
