I would laugh but I'd cry

Because your love has passed me by
               Dmaj7
You took me by surprise
            Dm7               C#m7 [N.C.]
You didn't realize that I was waiting

Time goes slowly but carries on
And now the best years have come and gone
You took me by surprise
I didn't realize that you were laughing

Chorus:

D    A                    Bm
Laughing - because you're doing it to me
D    A                    Bm
Laughing - that ain't the way it should be
    D                      E
You took away everything I had
                    A
You put the hurt on me

Laughing - because you're doing it to me
Laughing - oh, what you're doing to me
You took away everything I had
                    A  [1: repeat intro  2: to coda]
You put the hurt on me

Verse 3 (as per verse 1):

I'll go alone now calling your name
After losing at the game
You took me by surprise
I didn't realize that you were laughing

[repeat verse 2]

[repeat chorus]

Coda (repeat to fade):

D    A           Bm
Laughing - ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
