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

The dreams you dreamed have all gone astray

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 mill  
    G     G/F#   E7       A7/13 Edim     D 
And never      a new love  will  be the same

Good riddance, good-bye

Ev'ry trick of his you're on  to

But, fools will be fools, and where's he gone to

The road gets rougher, it's lone 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

Ever since this world began, there is nothing sadder than

A one - man  woman looking for the man that got  away

The man that got   away
