Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Cry,  cry, mud  in your eye
Oh,  you’re going through the reasons  why
Doing  anything to justify
How  it got this way
Diamond  necklace, diamond  rings
Oh,  how much more  it stings
Watching  you collect  your things
 And what  you want to say
 Ought to say,  ought to say
 And you say,  and you say
 That I  don’t owe  you nothing
 I never  could tell that you
You  don’t need  my loving
 Just get  it from someone else
I  just want a reason to be free from you
 Yes I do
Too  much time, and too  much wine
Cut  a hole in this heart  of mine
But  I’ll lie and say I’m feeling  fine
Sleepin’  in my clothes
 I could  be right, I could  be wrong
To  think about you while  I’m gone
Love  writes the saddest  songs
 And that’s  just how it goes
 Yes it goes,  yes it goes
 And it goes,  yes it goes
 Now I  don’t owe  you nothing
 I never  could tell that you
You  don’t need  my loving
 Just get  it from someone else
I  just want a reason to be free from you
 Yes I do
Now  all this pain I can’t  explain
 It’s like running  out of cover in the pouring  rain
 It’s like waving  goodbye to  a train
 That’s moving  down the track
And  all I know when the day  is done
You  can’t love just anyone
It  don’t matter where  they’re going
 Or if they’re ever  coming back
 Coming back,  coming back
 Coming back,  they ain’t coming back
 But I  don’t owe  you nothing
 I never  could tell that you
You  don’t need  my loving
 Just get  it from someone else
I  just want a reason to be free from you
 Yes I do
Oh, you  gonna  find  out
  oh yeah…
