"When You Were My Baby"

G
We walked alone in the rain and lightning
C                D7
When you were my baby
G
So much in love it was almost frightening 
C                D7
When you were my baby 
C                D7    
Everybody called you a fool 
C                      D7
When you wouldn't play by the rules 
C             D7
Everybody was wrong, whoa whoa

G
There was nowhere to run away to 
C                D7
When you were my baby
G
Everybody began to hate you
C                D7
When you were my baby
C           D7   
Time wasn't on our side 
C         D7
Me and my foolish pride 
C               D7
Then I said goodbye, whoa whoa

D7                       Am      C     D7
Now you've gone away and left me on my own 
                         Am      C     D7
Now I'm walking down the highway all alone 
                     Am      C     D7
On a rainy night and crying out my eyes
 Am      C     D7
Crying out my eyes
 Am      C     G      C      D7
Crying out my, crying out my eyes 

G
We were young, yeah, but old enough to... 
C                D7
When you were my baby
G
And I just couldn't help but love you 
C                D7
When you were my baby
C                D7
Just the way you wore your hair 
C               D7
And the way you just didn't care
C               D7
And the way you danced

G
Do do, do do do, do do do, do do do do do
C                D7
When you were my baby
G
Do do, do do do, do do do, do do do do do
C                D7
When you were my baby
G
Do do, do do do, do do do, do do do do do
C                D7
When you were my baby
G
Do do, do do do, do do do, do do do do do
C                D7
