written and recorded by Willie Nelson
[C]As you sit there in your [F]loneliness [C]confused as you must [G7]be
I'm [F]sure a dozen [C]questions come to [G7]mind
And if [C]you're wondering why [F]I left you [C]after all you've done for [G7]me
I [F]guess you'll have to [G7]blame it on the [C]times
The [F]many times you had your way [C]no matter what the cost
And [F]the many times you took for granted [C]love you now have [G7]lost
And if [C]I've hurt you [F]darling I don't [C]mean to be un[G7]kind
I [F]guess you'll have to [G7]blame it on the [C]times
That small conceited [F]world of yours [C]could never under[G7]stand
That [F]to want to stand [C]alone is not a [G7]crime
And [C]if for one time [F]in my life [C]I'm acting like a [G7]man
I [F]guess you'll have to [G7]blame it on the [C]times
[F]Blame it on the many times a [C]hiding place I'd seek
[F]Afraid to say what's on my mind and [C]ashamed for being [G7]weak
So if [C]at last I'm [F]seeing [C]after so long being[G7] blind
I [F]suppose you'll have to [G7]blame it on the [C]times
[C]As you sit there in your [F]loneliness [C]confused as you must [G7]be
I'm [F]sure a dozen [C]questions come to [G7]mind
And if [C]you're wondering why [F]I left you [C]after all you've done for [G7]me
I [F]guess you'll have to [G7]blame it on the [C]times
The [F]many times you had your way [C]no matter what the cost
And [F]the many times you took for granted [C]love you now have [G7]lost
And if [C]I've hurt you [F]darling I don't [C]mean to be un[G7]kind
