A    D   Cdim A            D        Fdim         A 
The night is bitter, the stars have lost their glitter 
     Bm   Cdim   A         Bm   Fdim       A 
The winds grow colder, and suddenly you're older 
    D   Em F#m  Em      D   Em  F#m A G    Gdim 
And all because of the man that got   away 
   Em7             A7       Bm       Edim     A 
No more his eager call, the writing's on the wall 
     Em          A          Em7 Edim    D   Em7  D7M  Em7 
The dreams you dreamed have all gone astray 
     D  Cdim A            D      Fdim    A 
The man that won you has gone off and undone you 
     Bm   Cdim A           Bm     Fdim   A 
That great beginning has seen the final inning 
        D  Fdim F#m      Em     D  Em  F#m A    B7 
Don't know what happened  it's all a   crazy game 
   Em7                 A7/9       D6           Edim       B7 
No more that all-time thrill, for you've been through the million 
    G     G/F#   E7       A7/13 Edim     D 
And never      a new love will  be the same 

Bridge:
 
D    Em7       D   Gdim          
Good riddance, good-bye 
C7      B7         E7 A7/9 
Ev'ry trick of his you're on  to 
      D6   Em7 F#m  B7         D9    Em7 Fdim A7 
But, fools will be fools, and where's he gone to 
     D  Cdim  A             D        Fdim   A 
The road gets rougher, it's lonelier    and tougher 
     Bm  Cdim  A          Bm   Fdim     A 
With hope you burn up, tomorrow he may turn up 
        D  Fdim F#m   Em      D   Em   F#m    A  B7 
There's just no letup    the live-long night and day 
      G          Em7     A4/7  Edim     D      F#7    B7  
Ever since this world began, there is nothing sadder than 
   G5+  G6/F# A7/13  Em7     G5+    G6/F#    A7/13 Edim 
A one - man  woman looking for the man that got  away 
    A7   G/B  A  Edim D   Cdim A7 D 
The man that got    away
