Guitar chords with lyrics

Verse 1:

C                                    F
 Had a little love, but I spread it thin
Dm                            G
 Falling in her arms and out again
C                                   F
 Made a bad name for my game around town
Dm                              G
 Tore up my heart, and shut it down

C
 Nothing to do
F
 Nowhere to be
Dm                        G
 A simple little kind of free
C

 Nothing to do
F
 No one but me

 And that's all I need

           C                    F
I'm perfectly lonely

'Cause I don't belong to anyone

Nobody belongs to me

I see friends around from time to time
Dm                            G
When their ladies let them slip away
C                                   F
And when they ask me how I'm doing with mine
Dm                              G
This is always what I say

 Nothing to do
F              Em

Bridge:

Am
 And this is not to say
G
 There never comes a day
F                               G    G#
 I'll take my chances and start again
Am
 And when I look behind
G
 On all my younger times
F                               Fm
 I have to thank the wrongs that led me to a love so strong
