[Verse 1]
  C        Am7          Dm7      G7
Through a blurry window --- out above the rooftop
C        Am7            Bm7        E7
- I keep looking at the rain-swept sky
A         Gbm7            Bm7           E7
- In this small apartment --- where she used to love me
A        Gbm7     Em7                 A7
- I just sit here --- as my life goes by
D            Ab7              Dbm7          Gb7
- There's no doorbell ringing ---- no sweet sounds of singing
Bm7        E7                 A          G7
--- Just a silent room where tears won't dry


[Chorus]
         C       Am7
Life is sad when people hurt you
Dm7            G7
--- Sad when friends desert you
C           Am7            Gm7           E7
- Sad when dreams get lost --- beyond recall
 F     B7       Em7            A7
But remembering --- that love stopped blossoming
     Dm7        G7               C
And that's the saddest thing of all


[Verse 2]
 C      Am               Dm7       G7
Once we had it made, our days one grand parade
     C          Am7     Bm7              E7
Of thrills and laughter --- only lovers know
A         Gbm7            Bm7      E7
- She was proud of me and we were young and free
     A        Gbm7        Em7            A7
One touch was all it took --- and off we go
 D    Ab7          Dbm7          Gb7
Now above the rain ---- I hear a passing plane
Bm7             E7           A       G7
--- And all my loneliness begins to show


[Chorus]
         C       Am7
Life is sad when people hurt you
Dm7            G7
--- Sad when friends desert you
C           Am7            Gm7           E7
- Sad when dreams get lost --- beyond recall
 F     B7       Em7            A7
But remembering from spring to lonely spring
       Dm7        G7               C
Well, that's the saddest thing of all
