My Better Years

F Bb F Well, you're back on my doorstep a-cryin C Li-ike I cried for all those lonely years F Bb F But I can't dry your tears, it's been too long since love was here C F And I've already gave you my better years F Bb And so the pages of time kept right on turning (Oh, yes they do) F C They never stop for us to harvest the years F Bb And old embers of love kept right on dying F C F For there was no-one to dry my tears F Bb F And you're back on my doorstep a-cryin C Li-ike I cried for all those lonely years F Bb F But I can't dry your tears, it's been too long since love was here C F And I've already gave you my better years F Bb F C F F Bb And I'll try not to blame you, I'll try not to shame you F C All I can do now is wish you well F Bb F But if you should need a friend, I'll be there till the end C F Oh but don't ask me to love you again F Bb F And don't come back on my doorstep a-cryin C Ho-oping for what's been dead so long F Bb For the embers have long turned to ashes F C F There's nothing here but old memories and this song Bb And don't come back on my doorstep a-cryin F C F My friend there's nothing but old memories and this song
