[Verse 1]
           D
Turn around
                     G
Don't whisper out my name
           D               
For like a breeze it might 
C            G
stir a dyin' flame
              D                   G
I'll miss someone if it eases you know
    C              D                G
And close the door lightly when you go
 
 
[Verse 2]
          D                      G
Take your tears to someone elses eyes
                D              
They're made of glass and they 
C                 G
cut like wounding lies
     D                         G
Memories are drifting like the snow
   C              D                G
So close the door lightly when you go
 
 
[Chorus]
C           D              G     G7
Who was the one who wasted time
C           D                G
Who was the one who stole my mind
    C           D     
Oh, who was the one who 
               G
made me feel unkind
   C             D              G
So fare thee well sweet love of mine
 
 
[Verse 3]
           D                   
Don't look back to where you 
         G
once had been
               D              
Look straight ahead if you're 
C              G
walkin' in the rain
           D                    
And find a light if the path is 
         G
dark and cold
    C              D                G   G7
And close the door lightly when you go
 
 
[Chorus]
C           D              G    G7
Who was the one who wasted time
C           D                G    (up bass)
Who was the one who stole my mind
    C           D   
Oh, who was the one 
                   G
who made me feel unkind
   C             D              G     G*
So fare thee well sweet love of mine

Turn around
                     A
Don't whisper out my name
           E               
For like a breeze it might 
D            A
stir a dyin' flame
              E                   A
I'll miss someone if it eases you know
     D              E        
Then close the door lightly 
         A A7
when you go
 
 
[Chorus]
D           E              A    A7
Who was the one who wasted time
D           E                A     A7
Who was the one who stole my mind
    D           E     
Oh, who was the one who 
               A
made me feel unkind
   D             E              A
So fare thee well sweet love of mine
 
 
[Outro]
   D             E              A
So fare thee well sweet love of mine
       D             E              A     A*
Oh, so fare thee well sweet love of mine
